Talk:fang job

RFV discussion: January–April 2022
Two senses. The phrase appears in a nonce-word way in various books but not with any obvious dominant meaning, and not commonly. Equinox ◑ 19:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I can also find a couple hits where it seems to mean a hitjob using fangs (Citations:fang job). All seem like nonce constructions of fang + job, as you suggest (actually, the Bella/Edward cite is ambiguous between the sexual and the kill-with-fangs meanings). - -sche (discuss) 00:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Cassell's says fang job is 1960s slang for "criticism, esp. a critical article." I think the Hunter S. Thompson quotation is an example of this sense. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 02:10, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

The first sense is now cited. The second has failed. Kiwima (talk) 01:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
