[edit] Flilf

This was originally tag as a CSD G1, patent nonsense. I rejected it as a speedy as being a neologism is not a speedy criteria, and it is not patent nonsense. I tagged it for PROD as "Non-notable neologism". This was removed by an anon with the comment. "i do object to the deletion of this article -- i think the term's prominent inclusion in the daily show makes it notable". As near as I can tell, this term was invented by the Daily Show. Beyond this usage there appears to be no other reliable sources using this term. Delete Dsmdgold 04:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Delete- I don't see how this article could possible be improved, it's just a random collection of trivia. --(L'Aquatique: Bringing chaos & general mayhem to the Wiki for One Year!) 06:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

All the same, there are all ready 1500 google hits for FLILF. It seems to have struck a nerve. Serendipodous 07:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not an appropriate site for articles about humorous acronyms used in a comedy skit on TV two days ago. The water cooler at work is a more appropriate site. Edison 13:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Just my humble thoughts. I heard the term on TDS and typed it into Wikipedia because I was curious what else there was to know about it. The article is limited in information at the moment, but I found it useful, and I think others might, too.
Over 15,000 Google hits now, some with dates going back a couple years. 24.59.148.187 13:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as a neologism unlikely to ever see widespread use (even if Fred Thompson were to become president...) Dethme0w 19:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This term was in use even before Daily show used it. Now, after its use on Daily show, it will only rise in prominence. It could easily become a cultural reference for future presidential elections in not just USA, but other countries too. Abhiag 23:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete If MILF doesn't warrant its own article, then this should not.Hoponpop69 01:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge into the list of Daily Show episodes, pointing to the date it aired. It is not a term in common use. WTStoffs 05:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
