Etymology
Since when what one random "netizen" wrote somewhere on the internet is basis for etymology of a character that existed far before the Internet? The very way in which that section is written is not adhering to standards, and feels more like something personal between the author of that part and the "netizen" they claim to be quoting. Tis is not Urban Dictionary and should not be treated as such. Exhululath (talk) 03:54, 20 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Exhululath It’s still real, even if you haven’t heard of it. @Wpi @Justinrleung can confirm. Theknightwho (talk) 11:34, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * A couple of things:
 * The existing etymology only concerns the modern Internet slang "shit" sense. I am not in knowledge of sources that provide an etymology for the "fly" sense.
 * The etymology is absolutely correct, there's no one who is personally involved here, but I do think the wording can be improved.
 * There is widespread use on PRC's intranet the Internet, it's not an injoke used among a certain group of people.
 * If you still think the sense should be removed, you may do so at WT:RFV or WT:RFD.

 * I admit my mistake, and I'm sorry for my rushed reactions. Thank you both for correcting me and explaining. I've seen the last edit and I think it's way better now. Exhululath (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
