This should clearly be primarily a reference to the food similar to porridge or grit. Failing that, there are other meanings of the word more common than Quebecois slang. 209.217.93.165 03:10, 2004 Nov 29

• Articles on the meanings of words go in the dictionary. An encyclopaedia article is one on a person/concept/place/thing called "mush". Uncle G 23:17, 2005 May 9 (UTC)

A disambiguation page should not be the main article here. The main article here should be the Multi-User Shared Hallucination article and a link to a disambiguation page can go at the top. 70.69.132.31 11:04, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is mush a slang term for mate used by chavs?

(copied from Talk:Chav) --Jtir 18:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

The Mush dab page has this line:

• mush, a slang term for mate used by chavs

Does this accurately report how the word mush is used by chavs? --Jtir 10:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

No, "mush" is a long-standing word in English slang and pre-dates the chav phenomenon by a long way. Itsmejudith 11:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

However, the vast majority of people using this word in this context would be classified as chavs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.108.252.48 (talk) 00:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

No, it's used in London, Londoners wouldn't call themselves chavs. Chavs might want to be authentic cockney geezers but that's something else. Hakluyt bean 11:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
