Is this really an accepted word? I've heard conflicting stories. Anyone have an Oxford English Dictionary, perhaps? 65.183.135.231 21:54, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who said it was "accepted"? Accepted by whom? The entry clearly notes that the word is "mostly humorous". Words that are used get an entry in Wiktionary, provided they can be documented in accordance with policy. The word does not have to appear in someone else's dictionary to be a word. --EncycloPetey 21:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just for information, it is in the OED, but not for this meaning. OED gives it as an obsolete word for titmouse. SpinningSpark 20:55, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
