Talk:homey

RFV discussion: October–December 2014
The Wikipedia page for the term is titled "Homie," yet the entry for for it makes it unclear as to whether "homey" or "homie" is the main form of the word. It appears that the former is an alternative form of the latter, yet the former has much more content. Thoughts? Should it be changed to "alternative form of?"

 * I get the feeling this word existed in speech long before it was written down, and its written form is just an approximation of its pronunciation. As long as we define it somewhere, I don't think it matters where. For what its worth, in my head, it's "homie", but Google ngram curves for 'my homie' v 'my homey' (with "my" to try to remove the adjective use of "homey") are practically identical. If we assume there are a few lingering adjectives in there ("my homey cottage"?) then maybe "homie" has the edge. Smurrayinchester (talk) 21:58, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Struck as the existence of the term homey is not being challenged. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:10, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * WikiWinters when you list a page here it's because you want it to be either cited or deleted. It's pretty common mistake because of the name of the page. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
