- Connel, I genuinely cannot believe you don't know this word (which, I assume, is the reason you're rfving it). I'm sure we can find some nice, old cites if we look hard enough, but for the meantime, let these suffice: gbooks, define:slattern and m-w. --Wytukaze 18:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Clarification: Note that, yes, I have not put cites on either this page or the pages of the other two RFVs I have commented on above (junk and chuff). My only intent is to advise; I simply don't have the time to produce a proper citation. Apologies. --Wytukaze 18:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Really. I don't recall ever having heard this word. Maybe at a Shakespeare festival? I guess my question then, is, is this archaic, or obsolete? --Connel MacKenzie 06:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- The COED tags it as “dated”, and that’s what I’ve gone with. (1933 is too recent for an “archaic” tag. BTW, what does “obsolete” actually mean?) † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 12:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
I’ve added references, and the second sense is now cited. Great word this. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 20:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion discussion[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
RFV-sense "A prostitute who attracts customers by walking the streets." Even if a sense "prostitute" can be attested separately from the sense "slut", I'll be intrigued if it's limited to prostitutes who attract customers by walking the streets. - -sche (discuss) 22:37, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- RFV failed: no quotations provided. As an auxi check: such a specific sense is absent from most online dicts that I checked. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:37, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
