Talk:degote

RFV discussion: April–May 2023
Another of 's imports from Century Dictionary. I just can't find it outside dictionaries. Etymon is, which seems real enough. This, that and the other (talk) 05:59, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It was added on the Hotlist. The Century Dictionary is not a good source? PoaPxnda (talk) 12:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @PoaPxnda As far as I am aware, Century was not known for making things up. However, not every word in those old dictionaries actually exists. The lexicographers sometimes copied from other wordlists and dictionaries, having no way to verify whether the word was actually in use by writers. @Equinox is familiar with Century and could probably say more.

 * I can find a few italicized examples, and one non-italicized example, of Citations:degot, but all I see for degote are mentions in other dictionaries. - -sche (discuss) 04:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Problematic user; see history (including deletions) and the general low quality of definitions even where the word is real. Equinox ◑ 02:01, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
