This page has been transwikied to Wiktionary.
The article has content that is useful at Wiktionary. Therefore the article can be found at either here or here (logs 1 logs 2.)
Note: This means that the article has been copied to the Wiktionary Transwiki namespace for evaluation and formatting. It does not mean that the article is in the Wiktionary main namespace, or that it has been removed from Wikipedia's. Furthermore, the Wiktionarians might delete the article from Wiktionary if they do not find it to be appropriate for the Wiktionary.
Removing this tag will usually trigger CopyToWiktionaryBot to re-transwiki the entry. This article should have been removed from Category:Copy to Wiktionary and should not be re-added there.

recursive link (corkage) [title=BYOB&oldid=319448326]

In the regional variations section, it is mentioned the 'corkage' and its wiki link is a redirection to the BYOB itself.

I would suggest that if BYOB is the redirection of corckage, the term corkage should be added in the intro. Or even better, create subsections inside regional variations for each different expansions and synonyms of BOYB and then link to its own page or expand the term here and redirect the other main pages not to the main BYOB page but to its subsection inside BYOB.

This doesn't belong on wikipedia

This article is really just the definition and attempted etymology of a word, which belongs on wiktionary, not here. It has been transwikied to wiktionary already, by the way. Unfortunately, our article seems more complete than what wiktionary has added to their main definition, so I'm leaving this article in place for now. Ultimately it probably shouldn't stay, in the long run, unless this somehow can become a full article. --Xyzzyplugh 15:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{Prod}} it and leave a note asking the admin to transwiki it first. 151.202.74.135 23:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1800s??

I don't think a single line from "modern drunkard magazine" is enough to convince me it really goes back that far and means "bring your own basket". It's probably completely made up, acronyms/intialisms are very rare until the mid-20th century--81.152.90.31 15:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this "Wikipedia for Trekkies?"

Thanks for finding that source. Do you have a another source in addition to Urban Dictionary? Like the American Slang Dictionary or The Oxford Dictionary of Slang?—C45207 | Talk 23:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BYO in Melbourne area

When I lived in Melbourne, the BYO meant the possibility to bring (and consume) someone's own alcoholic drink to a restaurant, that is NOT icenced to sell such drinks. So, the trick was that even though the restaurant was not allowed to sell beer or wine (due to the strict regulations requiring consent from many neighbours, etc) the guests could consume alcoholic drinks from their own. It was a straight and clear regulation (perhaps a simplified solution of the overcomplicated English legal system) but the key point is that the legal system does not allow something, and the life and the common sense of the regular people find a solution to a problem. Aussies sometime come up with great ways, this is one of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.146.245 (talk) 20:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
