Etymology

[edit]

No source is given for the etymology from Norwegian, nor can I find any reputable source to support this attribution. (AllWords.com is not a reliable source.) Therefore, I am deleting it. Mrrhum 02:38, 27 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Multiple dictionaries report the same. DCDuring TALK 11:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
I don't think we should list these two websites in the references, though, for the reasons Mrrhum gives. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

I know 'pillock'is still widely used in the South West of England and in Scotland but does anyone know generally how much it is used in the UK? 119.224.99.20 18:14, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
