baby mama

This is the title of the new Tina Fey movie. It may be a real slang term, or it may just be the movie title. --EncycloPetey 04:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

It’s a real slang term originating from black English. Also, baby daddy (baby’s father). —Stephen 16:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

2 new senses added, need to be cited. DCDuring TALK 10:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, new approach: should we remove, and instead mention those senses in a Usage notes section, warning that when some have (mistakenly?) used the term in a more general sense it has generated controversy (Obamas vs. Fox News, Brangelina vs. Tabloids) and reaffirm the negative/unmarried connotation? -- Thisis0 17:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I just want to know and show what the word means. Current developments in celebrity usage seem less like Wikt material to me. OTOH, it would seem that whatever controversy has transpired should have generated some usable citations that might be more topical (but soon dated?) than many of our cites. It would seem more important to cite any actual alternative senses than to cover the controversy. DCDuring TALK 20:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't misread me. I'm not advocating "covering" any controversy, but mentioning that the term has been mistakenly used in a wider context. -- Thisis0 22:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

There has been material in entries that was topical/PoV. Celebrity misuse doesn't seem especially deserving of our attention and can become a means of PoV ridicule, which undermines the ability of all the WMF wikis to remain on the moral high ground on freedom of information issues.

We just need sufficient cites to support including the senses. If some politician's gaffe illustrates the sense, then the citation should speak for itself. DCDuring TALK 01:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

There's a lot of research and several sources at [[Transwiki:Baby mama]]Goldenrowley 04:34, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The Transwiki link was recently deleted. if anyone still trying to verify this word, see instead the source, at Wikipedia w:Baby mama Goldenrowley 23:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Striking, since the one remaining sense is well cited. Equinox ◑ 22:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
