Dicdef. Transwiki or delete. UtherSRG (talk) 10:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

• Delete. Per WP:NOTDICT and WP:ESSAY. Not even sure it's dictionary material, more like a figure of speech, with a variety of uses. Yakushima (talk) 15:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. Whatever this is, it isn't sourced. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
• I am withdrawing my recommendation because the article has changed since the AfD began. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:40, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
• Delete, per all the above. WuhWuzDat 18:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
