RFV
Added by an IP that I blocked for responding to speedy deletion of a few unattestable entries with a couple dozen more, including "igazib" and "gagladon". There were a couple I left alone because they're attestable, and then there's this one: I found two cites, but not three. It seems plausible enough, but I'd like confirmation, given the source.Chuck Entz (talk) 03:27, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

 * The Colts? The Colts were the moving vans in the middle of the night, and there was the karmic payback of inflicting a full decade worth of misery on Indiana. There was Jeff George and his million-dollar arm and his nickel brain. There were brief respites of competence thanks to Eric Dickerson and Ted Marchibroda, and then there was another string of 3-13s. "SUPE DREAMS - THEY'RE AINTS & DOLTS NO MORE."

 * This column was inspired by Jose Canseco, the big bully with the heavy foot, million-dollar contract and nickel brain, and Ch. 7 sportscaster Tim Weigel, who should know better.

 * I think this shows an interesting use of "nickel", but does not necessarily support "nickel brain" as a set phrase. --WikiTiki89 15:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
