fleshling

Rfv-sense: A person devoted to sensual pursuits. - Spenser quote claimed, but there's nothing to be found Notusbutthem (talk) 15:58, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

I found two cites. I couldn't find the Spenser either, but he does use "fleshlinesse" which is very close in alphabetical order, so perhaps a lexicographer got his wires crossed. This, that and the other (talk) 05:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, Johnson gives a Spenser quote for fleshliness, so it's certainly an error by later editors. This, that and the other (talk) 05:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

I found a third cite, so this is now cited Kiwima (talk) 03:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Eh, I wasn't going to add that one because it isn't explicitly "sensual", but it will do. This, that and the other (talk) 14:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
