 * I searched fairly extensively, incuding newspaper archives, and could only find the two at Citations:flunkey. The Week in Wall Street one is given as the citation in old slang dictionaries. The other one I'm not 100% sure actually refers to that sense since I can't find it in original context. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 11:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Did you try the alternative spellings? In my experience the spelling flunky is more common in contemporary use, though I think the distribution of senses for it is probably different. DCDuring (talk) 14:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, and also flunkys which appears in 19th c. sources. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
