Talk:ma tante

Request for verification
Originally RfVd in 2007 but never listed.

The current content appears mistaken, at least from fr:tante and the edit summaries. "My uncle" is UK slang for pawnbroker or fence. The sense now is aunt, as of today.

'matante' is an informal regional use (Quebec), e.g. 'auntie'. 'ma tante' would be a SOP 'my aunt'. - Amgine/talk 01:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don’t understand what you mean by "The sense now is aunt". This phrase (or chez ma tante), besides the SoP sense of "my aunt", also means Mont de Piété, a sort of Franciscan pawnbroker. —Stephen 20:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that this is from "Fastifex" a contributor previously blocked for inserting example sentences relating to spanking and who may indeed be the same person as the equally dubious "Verbo". And I could be wrong but I'd say delete. 50 Xylophone Players talk 17:28, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Amazing that this has been here since 2007. AFAICT it was an early Tbot entry that went wrong. No matter, failed RFV in April 2009, deleted. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
