[edit] Porkies

Even if the article is cleaned up, I don't believe it could be anything beyond a dicdef. I think the least bad option is to merge salvageable content into lie. Aecis 18:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as neologistic dicdef. I've never heard the term used, and I've heard of quite a few euphemisms for lying. --Idont Havaname 19:20, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above. It's a real term, and I believe it comes from Cockney rhyming slang. Porkies can also refer to porcupines, as in the famous movie line "I hate porkies, they irritate me." Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:39, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

• I wrote this because it was a requested article, from the list of missing encyclopedia articles. However it is a dicdef and it is rhyming slang..although I thought it came from Glasgow rather than London. ping 23:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
