[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense: condom. This sense has some kind of existence in mentions, but it seems to be nothing more than a purported Japanese pronunciation spelling of rubber. Urban Dictionary backs this up, as does a book called "Doubly Gross Jokes" that includes the joke "What's 'plegnant?' What Japanese girls get if their boyfriends don't use a lubber". Just about every word containing "r" or "l" could be respelled into this kind of pronunciation spelling, so I don't think it's worthy of inclusion on that basis only. I can't find a single durably archived use of the term as a general-purpose word for "condom". This, that and the other (talk) 03:48, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
