RFV discussion: March–June 2018
Rfv-senses of some Verbo crap: I'm also not convinced that the Afrikaans derived from Dutch, though there is one lone early attestation in Dutch. It could well be an Afrikaans coinage. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:30, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Afrikaans: "bare-arsed", with a special mention of spanking.
 * Dutch: "baboon", this has been lifted from the WNT, but it is part of a compound in the only cite they have. The diminutive should probably be removed and deleted, the plural perhaps too.


 * "As s.nw. uit Ndl. kaalgat (ongeveer 1600). Die b.nw. het in Afr. self ontwikkel." Regards. Naudefj (talk) 14:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've expanded the etymology. Are you also familiar with the meaning "bare-arse" and whether it is in fact associated to any degree with Verbo's "formal spanking"? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:06, 29 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, "bare-arse" is probably right in a very literal and explicit sense. I'm not familiar with the "formal spanking" part. It may be a reference to how judges allowed offenders of petty crime to exchange days in jail for physical punishment. However, I don't have a reference and cannot confirm it. Regards.

 * Checking BGC for any relation with judges or punishment doesn't show anything at all, so I've removed the references to spanking as likely stemming from Verbo's fantasies. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:57, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Both RFV failed and senses fixed/merged. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:46, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
