[edit] MOŽNOST
Delete as WP is not for things made up in school one day. I will grant the translation of the word may be correct, but its usage and the "carp nearby" part screams fake. I now agree this is not patent nonsense; therefore not a speedy. Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 14:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. How do I know that it was made up in school one day? Because none of the derivative terms listed return a single ghit ([1], [2], [3]), and if they really were in common parlance, you would expect to see at least some usage on the internet. --David Mestel(Talk) 15:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I can confirm this is a term widely used in the expat community (especially in Prague). This should NOT be deleted!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.72.200.11 (talk • contribs)
- delete anglicisations of foreign words happen as a matter of linguistic convenience and also because it is often fun and amusing to those expats in foreign countries. It potentially enriches the english language, especially where no english word exists. However, in this case, it's cliquey word that a person with knowledge of Czech and English languages would be able to decline meanings. The whole page looks as if it was someone having a bit of fun on the back of a word he recently discovered, and does not make it particularly notable. The Czech population is of only 10 million, expats number in their thousands. WP:Believe it or not ;-), but has the elements to be true. je to pravda?? Ohconfucius 07:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
