work schmerk

One of as many possible instances of w:Shm-reduplication as there are nouns - and not just in English. DCDuring TALK 02:17, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

So? There are 2,500 words in Category:English words prefixed with un-, the vast majority of which are trivial. Every word modified by shm-reduplication is as eligible as every word prefixed by un-. My biggest concern here is that Google Books shows work schmerk punctuated several ways, so perhaps this should be under just schmerk.--Prosfilaes 03:57, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Would seem to belong at schmerk, if for no other reason than the existence of "jerk schmerk".​—msh210℠ (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, entry schmentry! Delete. As User:DCDuring notes above, the schm- schtick can be done with virtually any noun in the English language. Wiktionary already has a nice tolerable entry for schm- and that's all that's needed. It would be unreasonable to start allowing any or all of the individual constructs. · 19:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
