Presumably miller moth, which gets many g.b.c. hits. Hold off on this one until I get the "miller moth" entry in. DCDuring 01:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
No cites, except for a Newfoundland Dictionary. Def. we have is not close to a copyvio, IMHO. I have included the citation of the Dictionary in "Dictionary Notes". For something as local as this, I cannot imagine that we'll do much better. I'd keep it because it looks real, partially because of the connection with "miller moth".

I simply cannot find a single non-dictionary usage of this term that actually refers to a moth. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- Keep. That's an RFV issue, and it's already being RFVed (WT:RFV#johnny miller). Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 18:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

- If I ever heard "johnny miller" used as a common noun, I would assume it was an old-fashioned slang term for the penis. —Angr 19:45, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
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.
Tagged and listed, but then delisted without cites or detagging. See talk page. Please either cite this or detag it. - -sche (discuss) 23:00, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
