- I note all of the citations for "(obsolete, eye dialect) (with off) To foist; to give under false pretenses." are of "pam off", which looks like eye dialect of palm off, so it seems like it should be moved to pam off and defined as
{{eye dialect of|palm off}}...? Obviously, palm should contain a link alerting people to the existence of palm off, and both pam and palm off should likewise contain a link to pam off. - -sche (discuss) 16:26, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
