same old same-old

Really? with only one hyphen? I actually found two quotations that do this, but I have to think it is simply a copyediting error. Kiwima (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete as a rare misspelling. — SMUconlaw (talk) 12:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
• It could be read as ADJ(same) ADJ(old) Noun(same-old), which seems SoP to me. DCDuring TALK 14:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

  I also reminds me of the w:Firesign Theater:

  "Where am I?" "You can't get there from here." "But I'm looking for the same old place." "Oh, you must mean the old Same place.

  Their radio scripts had lots of word play that might make for amusing citations. DCDuring TALK 15:01, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete. Just because one or two people once made an illogical hyphenation of something doesn't mean that we are obliged to list it. Mihia (talk) 02:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC) I have struck my comment because, looking more closely, I now don't think that the hyphenation is illogical. Mihia (talk) 18:45, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Let me remind people that this is RFV and voting here is rare. We come to RFV to search for evidence in the form of attesting quotations meeting WT:ATTEST. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:05, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

If anyone finds a third, the entry can be restored. —Granger (talk · contribs) 12:18, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I supposed it's too late now for me to withdraw the nomination. I am now convinced that this is a real, albeit rare, spelling. Kiwima (talk) 03:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
