Err… What? Jibberish. Jon Harald Søby 15:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

you have heard of sticky bun? google

I understand that it is something real, but "a sticky bun is like a cinnamon bun covered in icing." is still jibberish. Jon Harald Søby 15:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I've improved the definition. Could someone look at it to confirm that it is correct? — Paul G 15:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

what else can be said about sticky bun. 169.244.143.115 15:36, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

JHS - you should try sticky buns, they're really delish. --Wonderfool 22:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I regularly hear this in British contexts and wonder exactly what's so special about them. In Australia we have all kinds of buns and rolls, some of which may be considered sticky, but the term "sticky bun" has no currency there like it seems to have in Britain. The def given here is very weak though. I'll see what the new one is like. — Hippietrail 17:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

These are common in NYC also. (Another reason for me to be homesick.) Besides being delicious, the double entendre makes the act of saying the name entertaining. "I need sticky buns!/You got sticky buns!" etc. --Connel MacKenzie T C 15:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete or severely clarify. A sticky bun is clearly a bun that is sticky -- one meaning not listed. Furthermore, is it (the non-standard variant) coated in icing (above) or in melted sugar (current definition)? This appears to be in dispute. I've never heard of a bun covered in melted sugar being called a sticky bun and doubt that such an item would be particularly sticky. And what happened to the definition of one contributor, that limited the case to that of a cinnamon bun (a bun with cinnamon flavour, for those missing the explicit entry)? Finally (for this rant), what are the sticky buns referred to in the MacKenzie comment above? These are also not featured in the definition. Without two meanings, there can be no double entendre. Conveys no meaning if the meaning isn't clear. Simply nonsense. 144.213.253.14 01:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Discussions about clarification belong on the entry's talk page. Efforts to completely redo an entry are moot if the powers that be, decide to whack the entry despite multiple opinions to keep it. That happens often enough to discourage such preemptive edits. I agree it should be tagged as a US or perhaps even NYC regional term.

In NYC, (granted, that is a long way from Japan, 144.213.253.14 = w3proxy.nims.go.jp) they are sticky, they are covered in melted sugar and they usually are not cinnamon buns. For the double entendre, see definition #4 of bun. --Connel MacKenzie T C 09:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
