Talk:bagonize

RFV discussion: January–March 2012
Recent humorous invention. The only given citation is from a book on linguistics, i.e. demonstrating a new coinage. Can't find much else. I think including this kind of word is a bad idea if it doesn't have true usage. Equinox ◑ 23:32, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right. Most hits for "bagonize," "bagonized," etc. on Google Books and Google News Archive are mentions, not true usages. It seems "bagonize" first turned up in a collection of one man's personal coinages that was submitted to linguist David Crystal after he hosted a radio program on nonce words in 1988. Crystal apparently took a particular shine to the coinage — he described himself as having "high hopes" for it in 2000. But there doesn't seem to be any evidence of "bagonize" actually being used outside linguistic discussions about recently-coined words. Astral 23:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
