 * Nothing on Google Books. It can be found in a handful of 2019 Usenet postings by the same author, but at least two other sources would be needed. 98.170.164.88 04:18, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I truly wonder where they're getting these words from in the first place. AG202 (talk) 04:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure they all come from this site (link is to a wiki mocking the site, not the site itself). Binarystep (talk) 09:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Or certain other forums whose name begins with "chimp".
 * It's also worth noting this RFV, and the one below it, were started by the same person who created the entries. At least show your work in terms of finding cites... This, that and the other (talk) 11:33, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * They’ve also been blocked before on different accounts (@Surjection) for block evasion, disruptive edits, and comments towards editors, so unfortunately it seems like a range block may be needed. AG202 (talk) 14:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also blocked (as 2602:306:cec2:a3a0:b19e:3eb8:af02:6f83) by Equinox. Range has been blocked previously a number of times, most recently for a week; I've tried a three-month block given the persistent problems. - -sche (discuss) 18:22, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a pretty obvious tactic to be able to keep adding the entries without them being speedily deleted, while making sure that other people continue to do the work in actually citing them. It's obvious bad faith, as it shows they're familiar enough to keep track of our policies.
 * Can we just speedy anything added by this IP on sight, please? They're clearly not going to stop, and if other users desperately want these terms, then they can add them themselves (and do the work in citing them). Theknightwho (talk) 14:37, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and they're using the WF tactic of mixing their bad edits into OK edits, and making subtle problems, e.g. creating Obama phone as an "alternative case form of" Obamaphone. I'm tempted to extend the block beyond three months. - -sche (discuss) 16:18, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

 * It seems that the etymology of this supposed word is likely to be the 2018 film Sorry to Bother You (about a black revolutionary who is genetically transformed into a horse-creature). Equinox ◑ 21:52, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
