Body parts slang

It goes against Misplaced Pages Official Policy. drini ☎ 05:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. As stated on Misplaced Pages is not a_dictionary and WP:WIN:

Misplaced Pages is not a usage guide Misplaced Pages is not in the business of saying how idioms, etc., are used

Misplaced Pages is not a slang or idiom guide

Besides, it seems like anything can be fit into here. Really, if Marx and Stalin fit for breasts, then CocaCola and Pepsi, Sony and Cher, or any other 2 nouns should go into here too. Likewise with other body parts. So this has no chance of actually being encyclopedic. drini ☎ 05:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unverifiable, original research. --Angr/_comhrá 06:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, slang dictionary definitions, original research. Megan1967 07:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Original nonsense. Hopefully this is stuff that won't need a vote after the Deletion forum comes to a decision. Harro5 08:06, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Ejaculations. I used my musketeers to type this article so I could see it with my Marty Feldmans. Geogre 11:42, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Two things to point out here:
  • The Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/List of names for the human penis, the Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Street name, and Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/List of street names of drugs discussions are worth reading.
  • This probably opens debate on The Outsiders (novel) slang dictionary and Singapore sexual slang, and re-opens the debate on Sexual slang (Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Sexual slang).
• The same considerations apply here as in the "list of words of X" debate, namely that the list of dictionary entries is inappropriate for the encyclopaedia (especially as there's a 70,000 word dictionary right next door nearly begging to be used in ways such as Wiktionary:WikiSaurus:penis, Wiktionary:WikiSaurus:anus, Wiktionary:WikiSaurus:vagina, and how Cannabis (drug) uses Wiktionary:Wiktionary Appendix:Cannabis Slang) but there's often a sentence or two that could start an encyclopaedia article, if only people would stop trying to write a dictionary (or, as here, a thesaurus) in the same space.
• My own opinion expressed at Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/List of English words of Greek origin, Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/List of English words of Latin origin, Talk:Lists of English words of international origin, and elsewhere still stands: excise the thesaurus and Keep as a stub for an encyclopaedia article about body parts slang. There are three paragraphs here that (albeit that they are currently pretty much straight copies from sexual slang) might start it, if only they weren't being drowned by the thesaurus.

• Strong concur with Uncle G, WP:NOT a dictionary, and WIKT:IS a dictionary. Radiant_* 14:38, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree with drini. CryptoDerk 15:28, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• keep and trim per Uncle G. Kappa 18:20, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep unless there's a problem with the swearing, its perfectly encyclopaedic and legitimate. Internodeuser 19:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, another disruptive vote by Internodeuser. RickK 22:16, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Hack and slash and rewrite as per Uncle G. Scimitar 22:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete It is original research (of dubious value) and it is nonsense. What's more, if we're going to have a penis-names article and a body-parts-names article, why not have clitoris-names or earlobe-names. This is getting ridiculous. Bgeer 03:47, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs to be synchronised with euphemism where appropriate, but are two separate categories. Beta_M , | (Ë-Mail)
• Transfer to Wiktionary. Neutrality 02:38, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete original research. JamesBurns 11:02, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as a sort of original research, and as generally unverifiable. Really, any stupid name for any old body parts could be added here, with the argument "I heard somebody call them that once." Joyous 02:50, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
