Rfv-senses of some Verbo crap:
- Afrikaans: "bare-arsed", with a special mention of spanking.
- Dutch: "baboon", this has been lifted from the WNT, but it is part of a compound in the only cite they have. The diminutive should probably be removed and deleted, the plural perhaps too.
I'm also not convinced that the Afrikaans derived from Dutch, though there is one lone early attestation in Dutch. It could well be an Afrikaans coinage. @Naudefj ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:30, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

- @Naudefj Thanks, I've expanded the etymology. Are you also familiar with the meaning "bare-arse" and whether it is in fact associated to any degree with Verbo's "formal spanking"?

- Yes, "bare-arse" is probably right in a very literal and explicit sense. I'm not familiar with the "formal spanking" part. It may be a reference to how judges allowed offenders of petty crime to exchange days in jail for physical punishment. However, I don't have a reference and cannot confirm it. Regards.

- Checking BGC for any relation with judges or punishment doesn't show anything at all, so I've removed the references to spanking as likely stemming from Verbo's fantasies.

- Both RFV failed and senses fixed/merged. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:46, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
