 * It comes from this. I am highly sceptical that anyone actually uses it this way. Theknightwho (talk) 21:31, 26 June 2022 (UTC)


 * While this internet meaning is being investigated, you all might want to look into the "mass noun women" sense that Lexico has that apparently dates to the 16th century. I can't imagine how the 'women' sense or this rfv'd sense would be used. The vulva sense is easily citable on Internet Archive; I had initially thought that it would only date back to the 20th century but given what Lexico is saying about the women sense, that may be an old old sense for this word too. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
 * OED mentions the mass noun usage ("a woman, or women collectively, as a source of sexual gratification") and illustrates it by metonymic uses like "He desir'd some Coney" (a. 1696). There is also a countable version: "The Conyes vse to feed most i'th night Sir, yet I cannot see my young mistris" (1631). As with many of the early uses, this may be a pun on .

"Countryside". Nothing obvious, although the many other meanings makes searching hard. Partridge implies it's Merseyside dialect; the EDD has nothing for this sense, only senses related to a game of marbles. (The sense "cunning" might also be hard to attest in English as opposed to Jamaican Creole.) - -sche (discuss) 18:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * (Other recent edits have brought to my attention how many edits by the user who added this are incorrect, or malformatted.)
 * It never fails: corrections or comments on errors of others always seem to have some kind of picky little error themselves. There must be something subconscious at work. As for the user in question. I noticed a tendency to use quotes to add unnecessary encyclopedic content, but I didn't have time to look through their other content. It doesn't surprise me though.
