Dicdef, neologism and original research. Basically, it's a slang term for a type of pannus. It has had some cultural references, but that's about it. Has already been transwikied to Wiktionary. h i s r e s e a r c h 01:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete just slang. JJL 03:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep A fine article with notability and references. If more are needed, then try The Sun, Now magazine, Daily Mail, The Independent - national newspapers and magazines. Colonel Warden 18:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Colonel Warden - no difficulty in establishing third-party references, and importance in popular culture to describle a rather specific form of flabbiness... :-) DWaterson 21:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Bingo wings?! That made my day. But those sources merely use the term, they do not make it notable. So it does not meet the criteria for inclusion. i (talk) 21:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Two of the sources I found don't just use the term - this condition is the focus of their coverage. I can't imagine what more is needed to demonstrate notability. Since this is a British usage, perhaps you are not a good judge of the matter. Colonel Warden 00:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Those sources are about the condition. This article is about the term. Two different things. Reliable sources need to be found about the term. Crazysuit 06:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Like the BBC? To them, it's up there with iPod. Q.E.D. Colonel Warden 12:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Per the BBC source among other things, I have been, just barely, convinced this term in notable enough. I (talk) 21:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. No reliable sources about this term, only the condition the term describes, which are two different concepts. Fails WP:NEO. Crazysuit 06:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary, to the keep voters. Just because it's an interesting neologism that made it into a dictionary doesn't mean it's any more notable than, say, "disappointment" as a phrase.--h i s r e s e a r c h 14:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It's not just a novel phrase; it's also a running joke in the referenced shows. And it's a medical/cosmetic condition which is of great interest to millions of women. The article on pannus does not address the topic adequately and that word was unknown to me until now. We might compare with man boobs in which the medical aspects are better developed but the social aspects are still rudimentary. A redirect like that might work but outright deletion is not appropriate. As usual, AFD is not cleanup. Colonel Warden 16:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- If this is jsut a term from Bo' Selecta!, but a neologism, why not just redirect there? --W.marsh 02:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Strong Keep if it's good enough for inclusion in Chambers Dictionary BBC report, then it should have it's own article. RMHED 17:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Does that mean we should have an article on every word in the Chambers Dictionary? I hope not - that's not what Misplaced Pages is for. I say delete this page as an article about a non-notable neologism. Terraxos 18:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! That's exactly my point. Just because it's a neologism that found its way into dictionaries, it's less notable than most other words in the dictionary - and we don't have articles about most words, we have articles about subjects.-h i s r e s e a r c h 19:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes more neologisms in wikipedia and less Pokemon and Manga shite.RMHED 21:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
