Hi. The entry already explains what it means, and gives some examples of its use. What else do you need? Equinox 20:39, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing more. I was just curious about what sources you used to define the word--Danithecounselor (talk) 14:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We tend to be a bit more casual about sources than big sister Wikipedia. However, if anyone thinks that an entry is wrong, there are processes to check it out (like WT:RFV). Very broadly speaking we just define words based on how they are used in "print" (which might mean real print like newspapers, or Internet discussions etc.; see WT:CFI for what we accept as sources). Some words, probably whorephobia among them, are politically sensitive (because maybe whore is offensive, or people disagree on what counts as a phobia, etc.) but usage is king and we try to rely on how words have been used in the real world, and not what anybody says they "should" mean.

Thank you, I really appreciate your input. I'm working on creating a wiki page for the word and have started to search for resources. Thanks again.--Danithecounselor (talk) 14:20, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
