Relatively novel uses of harsh#Verb as verb and mellow#Noun as noun, but not a fixed phrase. Many substitutes for both are possible. DCDuring TALK 14:04, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I feel obliged to not vote as I've never heard of it, and the definition makes very little sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't know if input is still wanted... "harshing my mellow," "harshes my mellow," "harsh my mellow" and so on (your, our, his, her, etc.) have a number of Google Books hits, including in The surfin'ary: a dictionary of surfing terms and surfspeak, which chooses to include it under the definition of mellow. Urban dictionary: fularious street slang defined gives it its own entry. Bum bags and fanny packs: a British-American, American-British dictionary‎ puts it under harsh.

RFV-failed due to lack of citations

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.
