The article is almost entirely about the use, meaning and etymology of the word, i.e. a dictionary entry and not an acceptable article per WP:NOT#DICT. There's a paragraph titled "Usage in English prisons" but the part that isn't about the use is about how sex offenders are treated. Sjö (talk) 07:21, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*'''Delete''' I feel that such slang terms should be an entry in [[Wikidictionary]] rather than to be on Wikipedia. Nevertheless, this article is mislead in content per Sjö's illustration. ~~~~— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ernestchuajiasheng (talk • contribs)
