Rfv-sense: Verb: To hit someone in the crotch. Widespread? Regionally? DCDuring TALK 02:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there any doubt? A simple google search for 'been crotched', which must be verbal, yields 10.800 hits!


 * Are they durably archived sources that we can rely one and meet WT:CFI? Is the definition accurate? Is there more than one definition? DCDuring TALK 15:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, verb section removed. (To be sure, I do think there is some sort of verb, but I couldn't find evidence for what we had.) —Ruakh TALK 22:04, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

crutch and crotch

 * I suspected that "crutch" and "crotch" may have come from the same word, because in the old days a length of tree branch or sapling trunk with a fork or crotch (with its meaning 1) was sometimes cut down and made into a crutch, putting the forked end under an armpit.
