[edit] An anon says keep

Keep, but clarify. There is a place in wikipedia for popular cultural constructs, but they should be highlighted as such.

[edit] Junk

This article has no place in an encycopedia. It's not even remotely encyclopedic and it deserves to be nomiated for deletion. ShizuokaSensei 08:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely agree. I was going to say that in harsher words. Gronky 15:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

If anyone nominates this for deletion again, please notify me so that I can comment. Gronky 20:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

How about just deleting the unbacked assertions, POV and unsourced material? That would delete much of the page. The references seem to suggest that people do use the phrase as a slang term, which would warrant some sort of mention in wikipedia. Cazort 23:03, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Wiktionary is the place for terms, not an encyclopedia. Gronky 01:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm for keep. There are plenty of examples where words or phrases which have entered into popular usage are made into articles or even featured articles (though I don't generally support these FA nomiations). See truthiness. Aran|heru|nar 09:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I've removed most (if not all) of the original research. The article still has a ways to go before it will be up to Wikipedia's standards, but it's a bit better. --DearPrudence (talk) 00:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
