This doesn't appear to be a real word or definition. There are no mentions of it's use. 184.97.225.195 23:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No hyphenated hits on Google Books or Google Groups. —RuakhTALK 19:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen the word used with that definition a few times in normal conversation. So I can confirm it is real. But it was spelled handegg with no hyphen then. —CodeCat 19:46, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The only written mention I could find was an editorial from the New York Times. [1] The term appears to be just used in online culture. I'm not sure of Wiktionary policies on inclusion but I assumed it was not a repository for internet culture and neologisms. 184.97.225.195 20:51, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Even the NYT cite is mention not use. DAVilla 06:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
