"I'm going to nickel and dime you"
|1 If any of you have ever heard that saying before, couldn't nickel also be considered a verb (besides the current verb for nickel that we already have) in that sense? What do you guys/girls think? --Habstinator 01:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: Five hundred dollars.

I don't think we should just take Urban Dictionary's word for it. DCDuring TALK 11:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Cite #1 is good for the $5 sense. If you take a look at WT:QUOTE, you will see how the citations should look in the entry. I use quote-books to speed the process. DCDuring TALK 23:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Because the sense seems to be real and SpinningSpark links to several citations, I've detagged the entry without making anyone type up the citations. Restore the tag if you disagree with this move. - -sche (discuss) 01:51, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
