[edit] Drudgen

Some obscure word that was mentioned on a TV show, which I have never yet heard used in common usage. -- 9cds^(talk) 16:38, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep A word I have used to decribe my some of my work on occasion. "It's a bit drudgenous". I have also heard someone in my office say "I feel like a bit of a drudgen sometimes" it is definitely used. - Tom (Kent) —This unsigned comment was added by 81.132.186.155 (talk • contribs) .
• I know I actually made it, but personally I've heard a lot of people use it. It's not that obscure. VJ Emsi 16:55, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep My line manager did once say "I know we all feel like drudgens sometimes but we get the job done". - Phill (Leighton Buzzard) —This unsigned comment was added by 81.132.186.155 (talk • contribs) . (Duplicate vote by User:81.132.186.155.)
• Delete only 96 googles, dictdef (could ask wiktionary if they want it). RJFJR 17:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nonnotable neologism. Note that the comments by "Tom" and "Phil" were both edited by VJ Emsi after an anon (same in both cases) added them. Same anon started by blanking the nomination. Looks like attempt to stuff ballot. Henning Makholm 17:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - neologism. And there seems to be some ham-fisted IP sockpuppetry going on here. —Whouk (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I would argue that although it is indeed a neologism, that is no reason for deletion, as i see it being a word that will quickly institute itself (and infact already is doing so) as a common phrase. - Richard (Faversham) —This unsigned comment was added by 81.132.186.155 (talk • contribs) . (Duplicate vote by User:81.132.186.155.)
• Delete, non-notable neologism, only 94 ghits [1]. Article says the term is "now commonly used in Britain", but no sources are cited. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 17:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Most of google's hits are of people for whom it is their last name. It's says "now commonly used in Britain," but the show it first appeared had it's first broadcast a month and a half ago. Carlo 17:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, per Carlo - Paulus89 17:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Carlo (and ignoring socks). Bucketsofg 19:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as neologism. The sock puppeteering doesn't help either. Reyk 19:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not a dictionary. ImpuMozhi 19:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, few relevant search results to source any sort of broad usage, WP:NEO applies. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 05:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
