[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.
The sense "Done with fangs." - none of the citations really attest it.
Furthermore! All citations seem to be references to the Strong Bad e-mail (complete with the word "gelatinous"); furthermore, one citation seems to note the word as simply one in a nonsensical stream-of-consciousness, and the other citation comes from a dead URL. All in all, a very doubtful word.
(Also a note: the [Homestar Runner Wiki] notes that there is a horror magazine, Fangoria, and the word in the original Strong Bad e-mail might have been coined as a reference to it. )

- For the reasons given, this definitely needs better citations if we are to keep it; and I doubt that they are to be found. Equinox ◑ 19:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- 2/3 citations given are not durably archived. The Yale Herald citation, if in print and retained at a Yale University library, may be considered such. DCDuring TALK 18:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- I just added another citation from the academic Journal of Childrens Literature. I believe this is published by the Childrens Literature Assembly and Yale University. (That specific article is in turn cited by one in The Lion and the Unicorn, from John Hopkins University.) However the context only indicates the word to be "horrifying".

- This is still a rather useless citation, since it only quotes the original Strong Bad Email, so it just mentions the word rather than using it. Korodzik 06:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

- Hey Korodzik. I removed the RFD tag (it seems you opened both nominations under the same terms) to avoid duplicate discussions and confusion. Once the RFV is over, feel free to add the RFD tag back. Leki 18:54, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well has this been cited or not? I'd say no, so fail but I don't feel sure enough to delete it myself. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:54, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
