[edit] Cucumbering

Description of a practical joke. Claimed to be widespread but author has not managed to provide refs so it is just something made up in school one day. -- RHaworth 12:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Neolgism, if that is how that word is spelled (I know what it means though, lol). But if anything a dictionary, but not a wikipedia article. Chris Kreider 13:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Does sound fun though. I should try it sometime. Edward Wakelin 14:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. --Ed (Edgar181) 15:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete; it's something made up in school. -- Mikeblas 16:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete; funny article, though. I commend the creators for working the phrase "Oh bugger, my fish fingers are cucumbering again" into the article. ergot 02:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not Delete!; Keep!, Has been used as slang for >10 years and can be found in many slang dictionaries —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.240.117.64 (talk • contribs) .
  • Do not Delete!; As a victim of cucumbering I think there needs to be more awareness of this savage crime. I am only now able to walk past a green grocer, 12 months after I was traumatised by a covert cucumberer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.240.117.64 (talk • contribs) .

  • Do not Delete!; please don't delete this article. The term 'cucumbering' is a widespread practice in the top end areas of Australia, due to our superbly suitable climate to the drying of cucumber on possessions. User_talk:Mikeslunchboxisgay, 12.17, 2 November 2006
  • Do not Delete!; I love cumcumbering, and if i'm not mistaken the practice first orginated in lebanon, where people would place sliced cucumber onto plates. This was around 500 years ago. Needless to say that the practice has developed somewhat. Its about time that cucumbering got the recognition it deserves! User_talk:martymonster, 12.36, 2 November 2006
