Real word

This word was first used by Douglas Adams in 1978. It has a reasonable airing in real life (but don't let that put you off) and we should keep it.

It is not a protologism. It is old enough to go out and buy a beer. — Dizzley 07:46, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

RFV discussion

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.

hoopy

"Really together guy" (Douglas Adams' original definition) is not a suitable dictionary definition. If it is used other than by its author in the mouths of fictional characters, what does it mean? Citations? Equinox ◑ 10:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

frood

Almost certainly not used outside the context of the books. Maybe these should be moved to an H2G2 appendix? --Yair rand 22:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
