Rfv-sense: traffic cone. Could be vandalism. --Type56op9 (talk) 22:22, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- Possibly an error, but not conscious vandalism. Added by User:Ciciban who has done some 100 serious-looking entries, mostly in German articles or en-de translations. The sense looks unlikely, though. I found no hints to that direction in Google or Wikipedia. Perhaps local slang somewhere? --Hekaheka (talk) 04:43, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- de:User:Nobelium also says that toddler is another word for traffic cone, having added that meaning to the German wiktionary in September 2012. It also was added to French wiktionary in 2011. It seems like a joke (imagine "Oh, there were about fifty toddlers standing in the middle of the highway today. I ran over a few on my way here and got out to see if my car was damaged and that's why I'm late for work!") but at least three people have said it, unless the others were just copying the first unaware that it was an error. The French wiki has added (Construction) as if to imply it's a slang term. Soap (talk) 23:12, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'd think we need something stronger than a mention in German and French wiktionary. --Hekaheka (talk) 04:28, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
