• Delete Wikipedia is not a directory of neologisms. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 17:21, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and reference If I heard of it, it cant be that new, and must be widespread, let people find references, and flag it as unreferenced. The article is beyond a dicdef. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 20:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and refereence What he said; it's definitely more than a dicdef. Noel (talk) 20:57, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • It might indeed not be notable; I'm not taking a position on that. Noel (talk) 00:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary or slang guide, with exception to List of professional wrestling slang, which we do allow for some inexplicable reason. RFerreira 00:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and reference It is obvious there is more to it than a dicdef if you read it. Tim Q. Wells 02:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Well, it isn't a dicdef, so it survives that. However, it isn't notable as of now. So delete. i ^said 04:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. WP:IHEARDOFIT but it still isn't notable, and Wikipedia is not an on-line slang resource. Burntsauce 16:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and reference as per Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ). Spacepotato 19:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
