-landia

[edit]

rfd of the English section only.

Created by a contributor notorious for his bad lexicographic judgment and tendency to make things up, for the sole purpose of adding to the etymology of Gringolandia, which seems to be a borrowing from Spanish, not an English coinage.

I started to add this to rfv, but word elements are very hard to verify, and this seems to be based on a misanalysis of a real word rather than a protologism. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Portlandia exists with this string of letters at the end of it, but it is definitely Portland+-ia, not *Port+-landia. Warlandia and Lovelandia might be citable via Google Groups. - -sche (discuss) 20:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
