WP:BOLLOCKS. This is not a "common name" - indeed it is so uncommon that Google returns zero useful hits that are not derived from Wikipedia. greenrd 11:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as unreferenced. Resurgent insurgent 12:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a not-notable term. PCock 12:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless referenced. Abeg92contribs 17:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless notability can be asserted and referenced in the article. Navou banter 18:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. A quick search through the Jargon File and the related chaff file (normally the definitive resource one would want to use for terms like this, despite ESR's slightly eccentric POV) turns up bopkes for the term, other than that "weasel" is synonymous with "loser". More a neologism. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete it is unreferenced and a google search came up with nothing useful. AltoSax456 21:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, NN term. It refers to kilobytes, anyway. --Dhartung | Talk 22:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Transwiki; only Transwiki if there is evidence that the term is in use (even rarely) in published (non-blog) material. Otherwise, treat as a non-notable neologism. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
