Talk:flink

Citation needed. Can anyone turn up a dictionary reference for flink in English? HenryAyoola 12:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Dutch/Flemish - Additional definition needed: in Dutch "flink" is commonly used to mean simply "good." For example, in Belgium a teacher might say "flinke jongen" for "good boy" to a young male student (or "flink meisje" to a young female student) as an acknowledgement for doing his homework or some other good action. A teacher might use it this way hundreds of times per day. It would only be used with a very young person as someone older than about 10-12 years old would consider it insulting, like being considered a little kid.

Possible mountweazel. The group of cows definition was never seen before 2002. http://www.word-detective.com/2011/03/03/flink/ 68.36.117.147 04:32, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

RFV discussion: May 2011–February 2012
Ruakh tagged it but didn't create an entry here. I guess the controversy here is whether it's considered a Mountweazel (no record of it pre-2002). I don't think it matters as long as there are sources using the term to refer to a dozen or more cows. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 04:07, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Fwiw, shows no relevant use. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's used as an undefined nonsense word in this grammar book, with sentences such as "The flink glopped." and "The flink glops and glarks." — Pingkudimmi 15:46, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
