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.
"An item of "pork barrel spending" (wasteful or ingratiatory spending), especially when couched as an economic stimulus." Seems to be only (deprecated template usage) porkulus, from what I can see (though (deprecated template usage) porculus might be something else). Ditto the plural (deprecated template usage) porculi.

- RFV failed, English entry deleted. I couldn't find anything on Google Books. I then looked through all fifty-ish Usenet cites on Google Groups, and only two were plausibly usable — [1][2] — both in proximity to other misspellings and such. Given that porkulus is much, much more common, I'd be inclined to delete this as an uncommon misspelling even if I had found a third cite. —RuakhTALK 17:33, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
