RFV discussion: August–September 2022[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.


An analogue of f-word but for censored/oblique reference to words starting with x. Google Books hits are for a different, possible SOP, meaning or meanings. - -sche (discuss) 18:20, 10 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Surely a joke. I can't imagine any censorable word starting with x (until Xena Warrior Princess gets cancelled). Equinox 12:31, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
"You put your x-word [xerox machine] away right now before I x-word [x-ray] you, mister!" (Yeah, I think it's just creative new trolling by the vandal who likes to edit the [letter]-word pages.) - -sche (discuss) 17:01, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Maybe it's a four-letter word so rude that even the xxxx version has to be meta-censored. Equinox 21:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Discussing the RFV that has been put onto this page after I recreated it after the last RFV discussion. Xenophobia is an X word that can be censored depending on context, and there are currently five citations listed on the page. — This unsigned comment was added by 4hrue2kd83f (talkcontribs) at 02:15, 9 February 2023.

@4hrue2kd83f: There's a new RFV open at the moment at Wiktionary:Requests for verification/English#x-word if you'd like to comment there. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 10:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Repost of material that previously failed verification. Has 3 citations, but 2 of them aren't durably archived. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:54, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've added a "crossword" sense which I can cite if you like Drapetomanic (talk) 02:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Cited and added another sense from grammar teaching with citations. Given that all of the citations of sense 1 refer to xenophobia though it should probably just be defined as referring to xenophobia. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 09:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
