The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.

Rfv-sense "An effeminate or womanish man." as distinct from "One who is bad; a worthless person." Most hits are for ety 2, "a group of ducks", or else are mentions of the Old English word, so I'm not sure enough hits exist to support two separate senses here; maybe they should be combined? Only cites will tell... - -sche (discuss) 18:39, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
