- Netsnipe has pointed to the wrong policy. (There's a tendency of editors to use "indiscriminate collection" as some sort of catch-all. It isn't.) The article is the author's own personal dictionary of slang. The applicable policy is, simply, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, of slang or otherwise. Delete. Uncle G 10:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
