Alternative forms

Here are some alternative forms I have found. Whether these forms would/should be considered as attested is difficult to say, given the "overwhelmingly spoken-only" nature of this word.

As I said in my edit summary, please see WT:ATTEST for what we mean by "attested". Dictionaries and Netflix subtitles won't do, but you can try to find uses on Google Books or Usenet (through Google Groups). —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 00:29, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I did have a look at WT:ATTEST, but didn't see anything about dictionaries and Netflix subtitles. Surely those are more reputable than Usenet chat logs? Anyway I found these:
