Plural of superwoman. Perhaps in French! Equinox ◑ 16:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- You're right, it's attestable in French... Lmaltier 22:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Quel dommage... The word looks so foreign for the French language. I hoped that it will be deleted. Bogorm 22:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not if it's attestable. (Unless the Académie Française bribes us enough.) However, I'm only challenging this word in English. Equinox ◑ 23:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- The French Scrabble dictionary lists this as the plural of superwoman. Mglovesfun 23:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe it can be justified as a French entry, but there should be no English entry for this term. -- WikiPedant 06:30, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
This either does not exist or is vanishingly rare in English (I wager that most if not all uses on UseNet will be possessive forms sans the apostrophë). After filtering out five legitimate close relations thereof, Google Book Search yields nine hits for (deprecated template usage) superwomans, of those, three are English, one of which is restricted content, another proscribes it, whilst the third cannot be visually verified (the snippet in the hits-screen being “Back Extensions Superwomans 1. Rest on your hands and knees on the floor. 2. Exhale as you extend your right arm and left leg simultaneously […]”, which is probably a use in a title, otherwise, it is incompræhensible). It looks like it probably is used in French, though I’d guess that it’s non-standard therein. So, in conclusion, delete this inextant English malformation. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 06:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
