Talk:nargery

Etymology

Nargery derives from narg (but NB that word failed a RFV a while ago, I'm told). - -sche (discuss) 23:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm not certain how to present it. "From *narg, an initialism of "not a real gentleman""? That would seem to be using "*" in a wikt-specific way rather than as is conventional. Perhaps "the internet slang neologism narg, ..."? DCDuring TALK 00:15, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I've found two citations of narg, so if one more is found, we could have a standard (blue)link. - -sche (discuss) 02:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation

The 'g' is supposedly hard, not soft. - -sche (discuss) 23:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Since narg failed RFV, I doubt that this can pass, either. —Ruakh_TALK 16:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

There are sufficiently many uses on Usenet which I'd think mean "technical discussion" or something like that had I not seen our definition of "speaking of work outside of work; shop talk" but which also seem to fit the latter.​—msh210℠ (talk) 15:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

msh210's interpretation seems more correct than the "talking about work outside of work" one, especially given the 1999 citation I have added. I have therefore amended the definition as I have cited the word. Interestingly, I cannot find quotations from after 2004. Is the term slightly dated? - -sche (discuss) 19:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Passed, in any case. - -sche (discuss) 04:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
