@Binarystep I actually did not tag this one for RFV for the record, it was the IP that created the entry. AG202 (talk) 14:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

My mistake, then. Binarystep (talk) 02:01, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Separate from the question of attestation, I find it very weird that this is labelled as an "ethnic slur". The longer phrase "the only good..." being an ethnic slur, OK, I guess that's the prevailing sentiment of the limited discussion at Wiktionary:Tea_room/2022/August#terms_containing_ethnic_slurs_but_which_don't_denote_(members_of)_an_ethnicity, that a longer phrase slurring an ethnicity (saying they're only good dead) is still an ethnic slur even if it doesn't directly denote a member of an ethnicity, but this? Is Christian (“kind, charitable, moral”) a slur because it's indirectly putting down other religions? It does not seem like an intuitive way to use the words "ethnic slur" and I think a label like "racist" would be clearer in a case like this. - -sche (discuss) 15:53, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

I think this might be our "chimpmania" racist: I had to edit this entry many times, because of course the usual meaning is just a slightly strange way to say "making something good". When I'm not there, you have to do my work. Check out the page history. Equinox ◑ 07:06, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Sadly is seems they are on a university ISP, with lots of good contributors sharing their ranges. Likely they will be done there soon and return to the backwoods to marry their cousin. - TheDaveRoss 15:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

The tag was changed from {{derogatory}} to {{rfv}} by 2602:306:CEC2:A3A0:4DD6:8786:8A4D:2CCB on 23 August. The entry has two senses, and one, which had {{rfv-sense}}, has been through RFV. Sgconlaw removed the {{rfv-sense}} tag but not the {{rfv}} tag, thus I suppose that the first sense (“(transitive, rare, nonstandard) To make good.”) should be in RFV.
