[edit] Flaps 40

Neologistic drug-related dicdef. The top 100 Google hits show nothing apart from the (actual) aviation term, and Urban Dictionary hasn't even heard of it in this sense. Delete (barring a really good rewrite on the aviation term) — Lomn | Talk / RfC 16:20, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• Kepp. Just because you aren't tamiliair with commerical airline pilot drugs culture doesn' make it a neologism. Think about that next time you are flying to Guarharlos Airport please thank you.Wiki brah 16:24, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Wiki brah is the Author of that article. --Aranda56 21:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC) And oh yeah Delete
• Delette. Commercial aviation slang. Wikipedia is not a slang and idiom guide. / Peter ^Isotalo 16:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As per nom. "Flying at Flaps 40" gets a single Google hit that isn't even a slang usage. Even as a "strait" aviation terminology, it only gets 1,620 entries in a Google search, although I would support a keep if it was rewritten and expanded to be only a word used in aviation with nothing in the article about the supposed slang usage.

  • Kasper, it would still just be a dicdef of a specific type of sluggishness. It's inherently unencyclopedic. / Peter ^Isotalo 17:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Arcane term (probably used by "Camo dudes" -- remember that great article?) better suited to a slang dictionary. paul klenk 23:01, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, more nonsense by Wiki brah. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - at best a dicdef - but most likely nonsense from a creator who has long since disproved our assumptions of good faith. ESkog 03:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons stated. My brother is a commercial pilot and I have never heard him use this term. - Lucky 6.9 03:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
