Talk:rainburn
The second sense is probably a neologism, that would RFV fail. Etymologically, it may be connected to burnout. I have not found any recommendation for ordering dates on Wiktionary:Quotations, but in general earlier quotations are listed before later ones, as on Wiktionary:Citations pages. - -sche 06:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- I too have not seen this sense, but carried it over in good faith from the creator. RFV is a good idea I think. Personally, in its original verbiage I thought it too specific. Leasnam 07:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Re: "I have not found any recommendation for ordering dates on Wiktionary:Quotations": Search the page for Quotations should at all times be ordered from earliest to the most recent., and you'll find it. :-) —RuakhTALK 16:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Rfv-sense "Emotional grief resulting from excessive rains and flooding." This sense was added around the time of the most recent Australian floods. I tried looking for "Australian + rainburn" and "feeling + rainburn", but found nothing relevant on Google Books or Usenet. - -sche (discuss) 19:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- I can't find anything either. Might have just been an invented term used among a small group of people at a certain point in time. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 22:20, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Right, I specifically suspect it was coined at the time of the floods, but never used. - -sche (discuss) 01:08, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
