Talk:massacree

Wrong definition?
From a glance through Google Books results, this is just a dialect form of "massacre", in all its senses. Equinox ◑ 16:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * There seem to be 3 cites for each ety-PoS. This look like RfV-passed to me. DCDuring (talk) 19:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

 * The "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" sense was the sense that failed. All the other senses were added by me after the rfv notice was first put in place. No one found any other uses that matched the more figurative "fiasco" sense. Kiwima (talk) 22:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
