RFV discussion: February–March 2023[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.


Not finding much, though there are a couple hits on Google and one on Twitter. 70.172.194.25 04:12, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

There's one hit for the alternative spelling joggering omee[1] and several Google Books hits for it too but those are mentions rather than uses. I don't doubt this term exists, or at least existed, but it's rare and wasn't widely recorded in writing. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:36, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
This might be a case where special treatment for a poorly attested dialect would make sense. But as the policy stands, we need three uses for this. 70.172.194.25 17:55, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
This would seem to be SoP in Polari (= jogger ("play, sing, entertain") + -ing + omi ("man"). DCDuring (talk) 01:59, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Good point! I could still see this possibly being idiomatic depending on the particulars of the usage in Polari (cf. singing girl being more than just a girl who sings), but given that we seem to be unable to locate much usage in the first place, and the currently supplied definition does seem likely to be SOP, I'm not too optimistic about this entry being salvaged. 70.172.194.25 06:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

No hits in the usual spots except for a single 2012 tweet: [2] I've been asked to issue a warning that I will close this as failed on or after the soonest date allowed by policy unless there are objections. Ioaxxere (talk) 02:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
