Talk:assoline

RFV discussion: October 2012–December 2015
I see a lot of scannos, names and mentions. Any uses? - -sche (discuss) 23:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * One book hit: First there is a geyser of blue flame as the tank's puncture wound jets a stream of ignited assoline skyward. Prior reference to "methane-breathers" makes this definitely the right sense.  It seems this was a neologism reported to the American Dialect Society in 2002. I had a couple of mentions on usenet also, but no real cites. Spinning Spark  02:10, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * One from Google groups you guys are missing the point of alcohol. yeah, when you burn it in your engine that was designed to run on assoline, you get poor mileage but I don't think it is usenet and possibly not considered durably archived. Spinning Spark  02:20, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Failed RFV. - -sche (discuss) 23:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Not really relevant to RFV, but I just thought you would all like to know that this was Duden's Most Outrageous Word of the Year in 2001, for which the German translation is the much more satisfactory Arschbenzin. Spinning Spark  14:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

RFV discussion: December 2015–March 2016
The entry comes with lots of citations, but they are all mentions rather than uses. Can we find actual uses of the term? I have only come up with one: Kiwima (talk) 19:43, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I thought I remembered this one, it's been here before Requests for verification archive/2012/even more. I remembered finding that quote above. Spinning Spark  18:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Looking at that entry, it is marked as failed, so why is it still there? Kiwima (talk) 18:48, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It was deleted, but User:Cirt added the citations and recreated the entry. I'm sure they thought at the time the citations were adequate. From what I remember of their participation here in the past, I'm not sure how well they really understand CFI. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * RFV failed. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 04:30, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please help with research at Citations:assoline if anyone can find additional uses. Help would be most appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 15:35, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
