Revision as of 16:07, 3 February 2006

A made-up sex move which has, apparently, never been recorded. Cited authorities include Urban Dictionary (so it must be true, then). Most discussions in anything even approaching a reliable source seem to restrict themselves to saying it's unlikely. The article as written seems to be little more than an excuse to link to articles like dildo - I don't think even Roger's Profanisaurus would include this. I reckon it's complete bollocks from start to finish, although it got kept here. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 22:33, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry for the implied causality. I meant that despite having a lack of verified sources, we should still keep it. Much bigger and more important articles are unverified as well, which in my mind is a good precedent for allowing common knowledge without verification to remain in the encyclopedia. - CorbinSimpson 16:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Although the act itself may be fictitious, this term has been in usage for quite a while. As part of the common vernacular, I'd say that it deserves a place in Wikipedia. — [anonymous] 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Qualified Keep If it doesn't get cleaned up and the profanity and rampant misogyny (of the article, the concept of the act itself seems hopelessly woman-hostile), it should be deleted. If it's maintained better, well...keep it. At the moment, it's nonsense, but the term is one people refer to and wonder about, and if we can get this anecdotal, ridiculous tone out of the article (the quotes at the beginning, the warning about possible castration), it's worthwhile. Ugh. --4.235.135.81 02:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's been around for a year and a half. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 10:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
