 * Doesn't make much sense to me. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:53, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ditto that -- seems nonsensical. Also, both purported etyma are adjectives, so it's not clear how this would be a verb.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:37, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hot word
I have restored the entry with some cites and. Although it exists as a verb in Twitch usage, I think it may be unattestable in durably archived media outside of the one form "malding", but we can revisit that once the hot word period runs up. Also, I guess the music cite is not from a physically released album, but it's available in all the major music sites and the single was mentioned in news media; not sure our policy on such cases. (There were several other hits on genius.com, seemingly also from digitally released music, but I picked the highest-profile one rather than an obscure one more likely to disappear.) 70.172.194.25 21:08, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Hot word from May 2021. adj. "extremely angry"; v. "become extremely angry"

I couldn't find any examples of maldest, and could find Mald, Malder, and Malding only as place/person names. But the entry currently includes three citations of malding from 2021-22, which suggests that it may be sourceable in video game-related outlets. Cnilep (talk) 04:47, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh bother, I've just realized that this is a hot word less than two years old, so it should be given some leeway even if it can't be sourced quite yet. Sorry for jumping the proverbial gun. Cnilep (talk) 04:49, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well  the adj usex looks like an ad-hoc creation to get the rhyme, but it's in common use as a verb. Arent the three verb cites we have adequate for CFI? Im sure we could turn up more looking in the right places, but these look like good cites to me, as they are definitely uses rather than mentions ... it's just that the authors of the first two felt they might need to explain the terms to unfamiliar  readers. — Soap — 06:27, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, three should suffice, unless this was a fad word. (They are all within a year.) I assume that is not the case, and that the word is used in "places" that I don't normally access. The current citations seem to suggest video game jargon/slang. Cnilep (talk) 23:33, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Cited. As expected, I found it on a video game chat site. I'm not sure if the site (us.forums.blizzard.com) is durably archived, though, so I added it to archive.org. Cnilep (talk) 01:41, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
