[edit]

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.


wiktionary seems to be the only original source of this word (26 October 2007); it was added to Urban Dictionary by a new user on June 7, 2009, but doesn't seem to appear on any other vaguely reputable dictionaries or word lists. Not in the Oxford English Dictionary, Mirriam-Webster, etc. or any word lists like accepted Scrabble word lists.

I believe it completely fails all criteria for inclusion and so should be deleted.

Then while we're at it I believe all contributions by the user Monak (talk) (over the course of about a week in October 2007) should be verified and mostly removed. Most of the words added by this user seem to be likewise entirely devoid of support in dictionaries.

Re: your first point: Fritz Spiegl's 1986 The Joy of Words: A Bedside Book for English Lovers[1] defines it much as we do (it has “One who goes barefoot”). But yeah, there doesn't seem to be much evidence of use. I expect it will fail. —RuakhTALK 13:33, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Speaking of Scrabble, potline and topline are (were?) valid, and we have neither. They would be anagrams of this. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
