[edit] Taking it in the gub

No more than a dictionary entry, plus nn--No hits on google for "Taking it in the gub" AdamBiswanger1 20:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm Scottish and I agree with the first and third entry of this article. It surprisingly didn't come up on google but this doesn't mean its not true. moloch2012 21:14, 16 June 2006 (GMT)

It really does mean oral sex,its not an offensive term or anything, just slang. i was in America recently and my friends and i were saying it and people didnt know what it ment, i just wanted to tell people.. thats all. I dont mind if you feel you have to delete it but its a genuine phrase i thought people would like to know. Its used in everyday language in Scotland. Mullerdrooler 21:20, 16 June 2006 (GMT)

Comment Thanks for your input. Perhaps if you could substantiate the claim that this is a widespread term in Scotland, I would agree with you. However, I nominated this article for deletion not necessarily because it is non-notable, but because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also, there is aversion towards neologisms among editors. Feel free to chime in with any evidence or support you have to save this article. AdamBiswanger1 20:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, dicdef of a protologism. -Big Smooth 21:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I think if you want to save this article, Muller, you need to add more than a definition, say, when the phrase was first coined or something, how vulgar it is in Scotland, what other slang related to it, famous people who have said it etc. Dev920 22:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I suspect that "gub" is merely a regional variant of Gob, which makes the phrase self-explanatory. Tevildo 16:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - WP:NOT an urban dictionary. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 17:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and per Tevildo, who is absolutely right that "gub" is no more than a variant of gob; dicdef. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Tevildo. You can say "hit him in the gub", "stick it in your gub" and anything else you want "in the gub". Not restricted to Scotland either. --DaveG12345 01:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, dicdef, fails WP:NEO and WP:NOT. --Coredesat talk 08:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
