Talk:scough

RFV discussion: March–April 2023
Said to be a misspelling of scoff. Is it common enough to include? Ngrams has scough being about a thousand times less common than scoff, and the hits all look to mean other things, anyway (onomatopoeia, scannos, names). - -sche (discuss) 10:05, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It also appears in a Kipling poem where modern critical editions gloss it as "seize", but apart from Kipling I can only find this sense in various pulp stories by : Citations:scough. (Actually it also appears in one Illustrated London News number, but I think it's alluding to Kipling: "Was he not "scoughed" by a typhoon as he went about his giddy social pleasures, little approved by the auld Scots engineer?") —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 15:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

RFV Failed, although "seize" sense is close to citable. Ioaxxere (talk) 00:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
