• delete (transwiki if wiktionary wants it) - very common in NZ, but only a dictdef. I've added this and "pack a sad" to the New Zealand English page. Grutness...wha? 00:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Fair enough! I wrote it because someone asked for it. It is not a very important phrase, just a nice colloquialism. But I have to ask, what does Wikipedia gain by deleting it; what does it lose by keeping it? ping 07:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • well, if it goes to Wiktionary, Wikipedia will lose nothing in information, because it will still be in a sister project. It will also lose a little of the risk of dozens, hundreds, thousands of other slang terms being listed in Wikipedia - which is really a gain. Grutness...
    • Good point, ping 07:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wiktionary. Incidentally, the term is used in Ireland as well. Stifle 23:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
