trance

For Polish section. Maro 21:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

• And possibly many other English words given a Polish section by the same anon. SemperBlotto 06:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

  Like drum and bass... - -sche (discuss) 07:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

  Here's a list. Some (even all) of these may be valid; I haven't checked yet: trance, house, techno, dubstep, eurodance, gamepad, joypad, Xbox, iPod, iPhone, iBook, iMac, podcast, podcasting, HP, FIFA, MacBook, Apple, Microsoft, Macintosh, Tottenham, Wimbledon, CAF, CONCACAF, AFC, UEFA, Barcelona; also these Polish words: Gandawa, freestyle'owiec, freestyle'ować, fristajlowiec, fristajlować, podcastować, esemesować. - -sche (discuss) 07:32, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

See also Talk:bitch fight, contributor seems to be basing this on an Internet forum, or several Internet forum. I've explained one of the dangers of this, it would allow users to get their own coinages on here. Another danger might be that a term is used between a few dozen people, but not used outside of them. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:35, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I looked for the genitive form of the words + muzyka (to weed out English hits): "trance" is used in forums, but not durably archived ones; "house" is attested (4–5 Google Books hits); "techno" is probably attested; "dubstep" is attested (1 book, several Usenet posts); "eurodance" might be attested (1 book, maybe someone can find two more). - -sche (discuss) 07:59, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Gamepad, joypad, Xbox, iPod, iPhone, iBook, iMac, podcast and podcasting are all also attested, as are Apple, Microsoft and Macintosh. - -sche (discuss) 19:34, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Headshot is also attested; I just cited it. - -sche (discuss) 19:34, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

• trance is apparently RFV withdrawn by requester. I've added {{rfquote}}. —Ruakh_TALK 18:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I've struck a few more from my list above, after I found them to be attested. - -sche (discuss) 03:15, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
