Request for verification

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

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.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense ""# (Australian English, slang) a dark skinned or black person (not indigenous), usually used pejoratively or abusively. May be archaic."" Conrad.Irwin 14:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

RFV failed, sense removed. However, to judge by google books:"was bosky", we are missing a sense: "drunken"? "drunk-like"? —RuakhTALK 23:35, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply


Added sense of "drunk", from an 1800s slang dictionary. Equinox 03:15, 30 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
