waffle stomp

While showering, to step on feces to push it down a drain. Theknightwho (talk) 01:17, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

On Twitter and reddit.

P.S. Having "twitter.com/search" on the spam blacklist is extremely annoying for RFV, if Twitter is now considered an admissible source. 98.170.164.88 01:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Weirdly enough, this doesn't appear to be citable off of Usenet. I was however able to create waffle-stomp instead. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 02:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Much to my surprise, this does seem to be in genuine use. I'll do some Twitter cites at some point. Theknightwho (talk) 12:14, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

@Theknightwho I've collected 3 cites from various online news sites. Ioaxxere (talk) 01:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

@Ioaxxere Thanks! I completely forgot about this. Theknightwho (talk) 20:49, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

I have been annoyed at the impossibility of linking to the Twitter search page myself, so: Wiktionary:Grease pit/2022/June#Whitelist_the_Twitter_search_page. - -sche (discuss) 04:28, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

RFV-passed (unfortunately and surprisingly)--Overlordnat1 (talk) 21:52, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

(The practice is to wait a week between cites & closing the RFV) AG202 (talk) 22:05, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

True, let’s call it Cited. I was going to leave it a week before closing anyway but I was a bit premature. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:26, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

None of the provided cites are CFI compliant... - TheDaveRoss 13:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

If we go to archive.org, copy-paste the websites mentioned as sources into the search engine, click on the links and then copy-paste the new links to our citations will that make then durable attested? For example [1]. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:25, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

@Overlordnat1 No. We have clarified the question of online sources recently, the source itself has to be approved via discussion and consensus. - TheDaveRoss 12:56, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

We have clarified that Huffington Post and Vice are allowed in the Beer Parlour vote, assuming that it gets closed and this section of it gets passed soon, not that other online magazines aren’t allowed. Also media that is permanently recorded such as archived pages surely pass CFI? I’ve no love for the silly phrase ‘waffle stomp’, nor the disgusting practice itself, but if we can find three archived citations then we must consider this entry to have passed RFV. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 13:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Precedent would suggest that all of these sites are considered "other online sources", which is why we had to have "discussions" about Vice and HuffPost (they are also archived at archive.org). - TheDaveRoss 17:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps we could find quotes where people are using the term ostensibly in its literal sense of wearing boots while hiking, but almost certainly intending it as a derisive term because of the well-known double meaning. I found a fairly recent quote by a late US Congressman that might serve as a good example. —Soap— 08:17, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Assuming you are referring to the quote at waffle-stomp, I strongly doubt that he intended a double meaning. The shower-related sense probably didn't exist in 1995, and in any case he was clearly taking aim at "environmentalists" who would probably enjoy hiking in their hiking boots. Ioaxxere (talk) 03:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I believe I was reading from a source that was more recent and didnt provide a date for the original quote. I didnt even check the entry with the hyphen. As for how old the modern sense is .... Urban Dictionary has it going back to 2005, which is almost as long as the site has been online, so this slang might have a longer unwritten history. That said, 2005 is still ten years away from 1995, I admit. —Soap— 08:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
