Talk:lank sleeve

RFV discussion: April–August 2017
Weird: I dunno if this is sum of parts, or what, but it's one of those oddities from Francis Grose's 1700s Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Equinox ◑ 02:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I found it in lots of old dictionaries, but I found only one actual use, plus two mentions by the same person (Simon Dickie) - I added an "obsolete" to the entry, because from what I can tell, it went out of use in the 1800s. Kiwima (talk) 07:13, 23 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The 2000 and 2011 cites are actually referring to a one-armed person, rather than to their empty sleeve. Equinox ◑ 22:46, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
