dicdef and / or neoligism. --Ianb 10:10, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Dictdef, but not a neologism. It's a derived dictdef from an external site. Looks nice, but I suspect it's not ours. Geogre 13:15, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete dicdef. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:06, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. How is that not a neologism? The term was coined by some random blogger and there's no consistency of usage in a google search. The so-called "barking moonbat early warning system" is just a political weblog at www.barking-moonbat.com. --Ardonik 08:21, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)
- Point of information: "barking moonbat" is a pejorative that goes back to a British comedian of the 1960's or 1970's. In other words, it's not a neologism anymore. It was a reference to a loony. That doesn't mean that its worthwhile, but the term goes back a ways in British slang. Geogre 13:13, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I honestly did not know that. Maybe we should start a section on slang in British English and add that information there? --Ardonik 17:03, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)
