Citations, please? At the moment, they look like joke entries. &mdash; Paul G 17:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The second one I've heard and used myself (US). (Aren't the tags in the entry on the wrong senses? Or one is?) —This.


 * Hekaheka added the tag to sense 4 and removed it from sense 6 in this edit. He/she didn't add sense 4 to this page or attempt to justify removing the tag from sense 6. —RuakhTALK 19:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

RFV failed. Senses removed. —RuakhTALK 16:04, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I did not notice the rfv earlier. Put the sense "hole in paint" back, equipped with a reference to dictionary.com. Refer also to Robert Ullmann's comment above. A quick search in internet resulted in some examples of that sense. Example: Painting and varnishing are some of those life skills that one should be careful about displaying anything resembling competency with, like laundry and cooking. I always leave a “holiday” here or there just to make sure. (http://www.mainewindjammerblog.com/2007_04_01_archive.html)
 * PS. I still do not see why 3. and 4. are diffrent senses. Hekaheka 07:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
