[edit] Ape Shit

A somewhat neologistic (I hadn't heard of it but Google shows it to be at least verifiable, if not overly common) dicdef. WP:WINAD. Already transwikied for what it's worth. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 06:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. dicdef. I think that it is a well-known expression - a regional thing, perhaps. If it has already been transwikied, there is no reason to keep it. ManoaChild 08:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete dicdef. No room for expansion as I see it. And yes, it's a common term, I've heard it used and used it myself since I was a kid. Dismas 09:50, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as a dicdef but definitely don't call it a neologism. It's been around at least 20 years or so, and was well-known enough by 1989 that it was parodied in the video game title Toki: Going Ape Spit Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:06, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete dicdef. Not a neologism, but more commonly spelled apeshit.-choster 14:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Although it is a fairly common expression in certain parts, it's definitely non-encyclopaedic Zaw061 14:15, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not neologism, but dicdef. ral315 14:25, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's a well established expression but has no place here. Keresaspa 15:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Hey, don't go apeshit on me, just delete it already. Cyprus 15:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This entry looks suspiciously like something from Urban Dictionary, which is a fine website but should be kept at arm's length from WP. Paul 05:14, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I would point out that wiktionary already has an entry for apeshit. David Henderson 17:51, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
