RFV discussion: April–July 2023[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

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.


Sense 2, uncountable: something unwanted or undesirable: "I don't have time for all this dipshit". I don't believe this exists. Dipshit is a countable term for a person ("he is a dipshit, they are two dipshits") it's not an uncountable general term for bad stuff like "bullshit". Prove me wrong?

I see a few hits where dipshit is used attributively in a way that might be this sense, but it's not entirely clear, e.g. google books:"apply for this dipshit babysitting mission" (although I suppose that could be a mission to babysit a dipshit), google books:"apologising for all this dipshit dumbfuckulousness" (the latter by Gautam Malkani, who Wikipedia says is "a journalist for The Financial Times, and the author of the novel Londonstani which Dutch writer Robert Vuijsje described as the worst book of the year"). I haven't spotted any clear, non-attributive uses. - -sche (discuss) 19:33, 5 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
