[edit] Full of neologisms?
It seems that this McArticle is a McMagnet for McNeologisms. Is there some sort of McThreshold for inclusion? Joyous | Talk 17:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think having a link to a valid and existing article should be a reasonable threshold. This will at least get rid of all the Mc(place where somebody died) links at the bottom. "normal usage" is another reasonable requirement, I have heard of "McProm" but never McPeanutButter. --TexasDex 18:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] McDrive?
What's a McDrive? Should it be McDrive Thru ? —Pengo 23:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- McDrive is the German term for a drive-thru. --BDD 04:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
The reason why these words are invented should be more thoroughly explained. What I'm asking here is what makes something a "McSomething". Is it because of the whole "pre-packaging" and "franchising" of a concept? Please explain a little more.
[edit] Coin your own
I was cooking some nuggets at a local franchise a few weeks back, they came up bad and seemed to... eh, react in the way a teenagers face would to pimples. But white.... anyways, I think I coined;
Chicken McFuckups
- Wikipedia discourages lists and articles of newly coined words. See this page for more information. Joyous! | Talk 14:05, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Names that look like McWords
The section does not include all names of the type McSomething. Only those where the Something is somehow related to the thing named so that the end result looks like a McWord -style derogatory term. For example Master is an academic degree, thus related to universities. Guff is nonsense, thus related to a narrative device without a real function.Punainen Nörtti 16:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] McOz?
Okay, people of Australia, I've been there, I love you all, not trying to be rude or anything, but, well...BEETROOT?! On a hamburger?! --12.154.39.254 18:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mcattack
Im sure i've heard that heart attack caused by obicity is called a 'Mcattack' in some circles. I know me and my mates joke about it. Just woundering if its known to be that worldwide
[edit] Mcshit
When anyone goes into a mcdonalds just to use the toilet and dosn't buy anything we call it a mcshit. For example 'he went for a mcshit'
[edit] Grey's Anatomy "Mc"s
I don't think the nicknames McDreamy and McStreamy were created to "refer to McDonald's and its associated cultural effects" (and there's no reference saying they do) so I'm removing them.--Nonpareility 19:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
