**Notability, maybe, but is there any reason to think this phenomenon actually exists? Moreover, if it does, is there any reason to think it isn't just another [[WP:NEO|neologism]], quite possibly a protogism? There's no reason to keep this article.

*'''Delete''' derogatory sexual cruft that a few people made up because they thought it was cute. Perhaps we should AfD [[Mrs. degree]] as well. Neither Mrs. degree nor [[Lesbian until graduation|LUG]] are encyclopedic, except at some sexual website's slang-terminology reference section. If the tongue-in-cheek LUG is encyclopedic, then so are the tongue-in-cheek fraternities I Tappa Kegga and I Spreada Thigh. Perhaps I should add those articles, just to make sure that everyone's clever college slang has a Wikipedia article. At some point we must ask ourselves, is Wikipedia merely a landfill for isolated-subcultures' arcane trivia or a real encyclopedia of merit, such as ''Encyclopedia Britannica''? —[[User:Optikos|optikos]] 03:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC) |

NN neologism, possibly protogism, that fails WP:V Stanfordandson 00:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete I cannot believe this has been here 2 years.--Crossmr 01:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Though I hate to do so, having read about this in the NY Times, I can attest that it's a real concept, or so the NYT feels, and the article does cite newspapers. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- There's no doubt the concept is real and that the article cites newspapers. However, neither of those is sufficient reason for Wikipedia to keep an article that is, in the end, just a non-notable neologism. Stanfordandson 02:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep the NYT times ciatation is enough for somekind of notability in this case. Yanksox 02:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Notability, maybe, but is there any reason to think this phenomenon actually exists? Moreover, if it does, is there any reason to think it isn't just another neologism, quite possibly a protogism? There's no reason to keep this article. Stanfordandson 03:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
