Saw this in the notes of a teenager with encopresis today and had a laugh. So... it is probably still used. But I don't know what resources to use to cite this. Wyang (talk) 03:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Should be cited now. Wyang (talk) 04:13, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Kiwima: Why did you pass this? The 1936 quote looks like a mention, and the 2004 quote doesn't even use the right spelling. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:15, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
There are always differences of opinion about mentions. My understanding is that the use vs. mention rule is to avoid word lists and hypothetical examples of how a word might be used. The 1936 quote looks to me like it is actually talking about the defcalgesiophobia - the "it" in the next sentence clearly refers to the condition, so it looks to me like a real use rather than a hypothetical. Ditto with the 1920 quote. Kiwima (talk) 22:36, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
IMO 1920 and 1936 are unambiguous mentions. 1936 is just a definition, and 1920 is telling the reader how the word is supposedly used, not actually using the word. I've restored the RFV tag. —Granger (talk · contribs) 22:50, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Agreed that 1920 and 1936 are both mentions. BigDom 13:09, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
I disagree. The 1936 is NOT just a definition. That is just a rhetorical style.
A use on Usenet, albeit a rather humorous one:

"LOL - And Randy's constant parisology and keveling certainly reinforce the fact of his anti-defecalgesiophobia (from a completely linguistic point of view of course) not to mention of course his near constant hamartithia and painful witzelsucht."

With that, I am calling this cited Kiwima (talk) 21:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
