RFV discussion: March–July 2015
Not much on Google Books. If it's cited it should almost certainly be tagged "rare" or "obsolete". This, that and the other (talk) 10:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Someone added two cites: the first, I am certain, is not actually from 1975; the phrase is present in a critical analysis of some kind of play, the exact nature of which I can't determine. The second may be accurate, although it could just as well be a typo for "unshaded". This, that and the other (talk) 06:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The first cite is in the OED and listed as circa 1500. The OED also lists 3 other cites, all of which are circa 1300. I do no believe this exists in modern English. — JohnC5 06:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The second cite is indeed a typo of "unshaded." -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 00:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
