[edit] Ostriching

  • Delete -Looks like a dicdef - for a made up word - neologismA curate's egg 14:23, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - but enhance. Google has 508 listings for this word. Eclipsed 15:06, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm familiar with this term (or thought so, at least). I was planning to vote keep or transwiki, as I thought it was a fairly common or easily understood term, but then I read the article, which says that it means to hide one's face in fear. The definition I'm familiar is to irrationally ignore a problem out of fear and often indicates a lack of judgment. It stems from the popular misconeption that an ostrich, when frightened, will bury its head in the sand and ignore the problem, rather than dealing with it or taking a wiser course of action, such as running. So I'm going to "ostrich" right now and withhold a vote. --Pagrashtak 15:35, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete With the exception of the dicdef in the first line, contains the exact same text as the behaviour section of Ostrich. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:23, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - I've never heard this as a verb. Deb 18:38, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary as the verb form of "Ostrich". Second preference, delete. Robert A West 20:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
