RFV discussion: March–July 2015[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense: AFAICT, this is a rare (in print anyway) slur on the bunya/banyan caste of traders. As such it seems SoP in the single independent use I found at Google Books. DCDuring TALK 21:06, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

To be clear, you're referring to the term bunya spider used as the entre definition for the sense in question, not the term bunya itself. Google Books has only a single usage for that phrase in different editions and as quoted directly in another work. It looks to me like a one-off metaphorical turn of phrase.

Nothing for the phrase in Google Groups, at all. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
