I do not think this is actually a real word. Just because someone spews something out of their mouth, it doesn't make it a proper word of the english language.

In the typographic industry, we use the verb "to bold", as in "the subheads should be bolded", or "this text should be unbolded". —Stephen 20:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is a real word, even if it's established jargon in the printing industry.

No such thing as a "real word". Language is what is spoken. Equinox 11:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
