foxtrot

Rfv-sense bubble wrap. Seems ridiculous, but not quite a shoot-on-sight. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:18, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to filter it from all the uses of foxtrot, so I looked for "Foxtrot216", which this is supposed to be shortened from: not in Usenet or Google Books with anything like the definition given (hardly at all with any), and apparently only exists on the web as part of the definition- one would think something in use enough to be recognizable as an abbreviation would show up somewhere. Add to that the use of the military alphabet and random numbers in film industry slang, and the attribution of the term to an "Avant-garde documentary filmmaker" who's not notable enough to be even mentioned in Wikipedia, and it's hard to discuss with a straight face. I think this is just a lame attempt to get a certain name mentioned, and should be dispatched to oblivion forthwith. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
