Rfv-sense: Digger slang. By same contributor as various other RFV-failed bits of supposed Digger slang. —RuakhTALK 16:17, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It’s possible, I suppose. I know that a tread is current military slang for a lifer with the rank of sergeant or above. I don’t know WW II slang and haven’t heard retread used before. —Stephen 18:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cited. But it might have wider application than just WW1/WW2 and/or "Diggers". Equinox 16:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
