Request for verification[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.


Verb: "to undergo a backlash". I thought it was more the opposite: to cause or set off a backlash. Equinox 21:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. One might say "His scheme backlashed on him". Dbfirs 07:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Right, I think. DCDuring TALK 10:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

RFV failed, def replaced with Equinox's text. I also added {{rfquote-sense}}. BTW, judging from the b.g.c. hits, we're missing a boatload of other senses, if anyone wants to work on that. —RuakhTALK 02:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
