- I apologize. I was not aware that this was a page for voting. My second bullet was meant to be a response to the "Wikipedia is not an Urban Dictionary" point against my article, not a "vote". Enots1

- Delete as an unverifiable neologism. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 03:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Yep, currently unverifiable. ProhibitOnions 05:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I hate to pile on, but, geez .. Cyde Weys 04:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, piling on. Wheee. I don't mean to be flippant, but since you're asking for advice on how to improve the article: I'm not sure you can. It's a made up term, that does not appear to be in use outside of a small group of friends; a neologism, and not a wide spread one. Kuru talk 04:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Perhaps some advice could be given to help me make the article acceptable rather than simply voting "no". Enots1
- Comment: At the very least it needs to be verifiable. That is, you need to find a reputable source that can back up what the article says. Fightindaman 05:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I live in Southwestern Ontario, am in my early twenties and have NEVER heard of this before. Mike (T C) 05:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. I think it's a funny term though. For what it's worth, I live in Toronto and I'm in my twenties, and I've never heard of it either. Enots1, I think we're asking for some sort of a reference that backs up the term being used generally. Don't be discouraged, and please contribute more to the encyclopedia. -- Samir ∙ TC 07:16, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

- Delete unverifiable dicdef, and Wikipedia is not urbandictionary.com. Robin Johnson 15:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a protologism that cries itself to sleep at night wishing it could one way grow up to become a neologism. --Aaron 20:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as neologism. Plus the article is just about the name, it doesn't even explain how to do it successfully. Peter Grey 04:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. In 30+ years of living in SW Ontario, in 6 different communities, I have never heard this.Nimby 16:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
