donkey punch

This seems to be citeable in some form or another. —Ruakh_TALK 01:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Note: there is a discussion already underway in the Tea Room. --EncycloPetey 01:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Yup, that's why I restored the entry and brought it here. :-)   —Ruakh_TALK 03:10, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but other people wishing to contribute might not know that. ;) --EncycloPetey 03:19, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Good point, thanks. :-)   —Ruakh_TALK 14:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I think this is cited, but I'm not sure. Some of the uses don't seem to be by people trying to be vulgar, which makes me think that maybe the sexual use is a special case of a non-sexual use (a punch in the neck? a sucker-punch? a powerful punch?). Maybe we should separate sexual and non-sexual senses, though the former will be hard to cite adequately. Anyone have any thoughts? —Ruakh_TALK 01:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

• The verb looks cited. The noun sense doesn't fit the noun cites, which could easily be interpreted as referring mostly to something like a "sucker punch", except for the 2009 cite. DCDuring TALK 02:42, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

The verb sense passes. The noun sense I have modified, and marked as passed. (If someone else would prefer to remove the sexual sense entirely from the noun, and relegate the one quotation to the Citations page, go ahead.) — Beobach 20:01, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Self-published works

Regarding this removal, please note that self-published works are acceptable as cites on Wiktionary. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 17:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

For example, the very reason we have a Template:quote-newsgroup is because we consider Usenet a durable source for citations. :) -- Cirt (talk) 18:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Punch to the back of the neck

Note: Multiple durable cites list the location of the punch as the neck. Others list it as the kidneys, or the head. Therefore, this entry should include all possibilities in the definition. Some of the durable cites are listed below:

Please let's not remove "neck" from the definition, as it's durably cited to multiple different cites at Citations:donkey punch. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 16:51, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
