me likee

Seems to be the oldest-tagged entry, but isn't listed here? Delete. --Connel MacKenzie 01:20, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually it's fairly well verified (at least as a literary device intended to mock various non-native-English speaking groups). Keep but get rid of the faux etymology and add a comment on its dubious origin. Or move to likee and keep with such a note. bd2412 T 02:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

That is a good solution, particularly since it's usually used in the negative: me no likee. Widsith 11:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, well if I hear no further objection within the next couple days, I will implement the above suggestion. bd2412 T 15:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Moved to likee (which is not yet the subject of an rfv/rfd) and struck. bd2412 T 01:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't likee. I thought I said somewhere, maybe forgot to, that me likee is grammatically incorrect and therefore passes one of the Pauley tests, the same one as the grammatically archaic phrase "once upon a time". Revert and keep. DAVilla 20:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Should we also have entries on "me want", "me sleep", and every other attestable incorrect use of "me" instead of "I" before a verb, as a literary device to show the speaker's incomplete grasp of the language? However, if you wish to re-add "me likee" with citations and a correct etymology (and not a baldface proclamation of this being Chinese pidgin), I won't object. bd2412 T 17:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
