It looks like this page needs some attention.... missing pic and notice about verifying the term itself's authenticity when it seems to have been verified. BlackAdvisor (talk) 01:47, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Here's where I originally found this term: http://figureelevens.blogspot.com/2010/10/underpants-crime-fighters.html?m=1 I've seen (but not heard) it elsewhere since. It may be something Kevin Smith coined himself. BlackAdvisor (talk) 12:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

RFV discussion: May–July 2017

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.

Any takers? It is very difficult to search for this specific meaning. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:03, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes, very difficult to search for. I did find and add one. Kiwima (talk) 19:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

@User:SemperBlotto @User:Kiwima I just CREATED a citation a few minutes ago and put it there. PseudoSkull (talk) 20:12, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Surely that doesn't count, being of the nature of a mention rather than a real use. Kiwima (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey, even usage examples in dictionaries count here, so these must too. PseudoSkull (talk) 20:25, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

That's Google Groups, not Usenet. Just having a period in it doesn't make it Usenet. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:17, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Re "even usage examples in dictionaries count here": you are mistaken; CFI expressly disallows such things in WT:CFI#Conveying_meaning, as "made-up examples of how a word might be used". There are exceptions to this for some languages, but not English. - -sche (discuss) 18:05, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Here's where I originally found it: http://figureelevens.blogspot.com/2010/10/underpants-crime-fighters.html?m=1 as I mentioned in the other page I've seen it elsewhere... but for the life of me I can't remember where. BlackAdvisor (talk)
