Pflock

Etymology
From (late 14th century). Related with 🇨🇬 (1375, or ), also, (ca. 1420), 🇨🇬 (1511 as , also ), all “peg, wooden nail, pin, plug”. Further origin uncertain. The word shows semantic relations with a nominal derivative of (“to pluck”,, , ), and at least in High German also with the descendant of. However, these relations are in all likelihood secondary. Within High German, the word appears to have been restricted chiefly to the north-east (East Central German and surroundings); therefore it has been argued to be a Low German borrowing in the colonial regions, but the late attestations in all languages make it hard to prove this. and similar Scandinavian forms are usually considered borrowings.

Prison slang sense
There appears to be a prison slang sense that I can't find attestations for. It refers to prisoners who are (outside of prison) just normal, everyday civilians (and usually imprisoned for white-collar crimes) as opposed to career criminals etc.

Should be a sub-sense of ''5. A civilian, as opposed to a police officer, soldier, or member of some other specialized (usually state) group.''. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 15:01, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

"Well, what about "va-jay-jay"? That was totally you, right, Shonda? You made that up? 'Cause you're so cool? That was Blythe Robe. One of our assistants. She says va-jay-jay. In reference to her vagina. As in, "I've got to get to the gynie and do the va-jay-jay thing." Blythe is very hip and very funny and way cooler than me. But I do take credit for borrowing the phrase and having Bailey say it on national television in front of 25 million people thus bringing "va-jay-jay" to the world."

However, it is likely that the very hip Blythe listened to MC Paul Barman's first record, It's Very Stimulating, released February 2000, which included the term in a duet with Princess Superstar entitled, "MTV2 Get Off The Air":

"Lady, one more complaint and I'll shove a rape-whistle up the Mrs. Va-J-J"

Is this legitimate, or just someone goofing aroung with punctuation characters in a headword? --Connel MacKenzie T C 02:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * This is fine (just a bit dated) SemperBlotto 07:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Noted as archaic. Added 4 quotes, from 1612 - 1977 (actually moved quotes from &c where I had previously put them, since they all used the "."). Then changed &c to a stub as "Alternative spelling of &c., rare except in titles" since that is the case (and it was fairly rare even in titles as far as I could tell from books.google. I think the advent of house styles reducing the used of "."s in abbreviations was a 20th century phenomenon.) --Enginear 12:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree with SemperBlotto and Enginear -- it's completely legitimate. I see this all the time in older works.  (I even tend to use it myself, just for fun.) —Scs 16:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

the "pregnant et cetera"?
I have read a book entitled The Two Babylons, and in it, the author refers to '&c' as a pregnant et cetera, "used in situations where the 'etc.' covers a very large list" (to paraphrase his explanation). Can anyone confirm or deny the plausibility of that usage? Knowledge seeker 2.0 (talk) 10:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * You are completely misunderstanding him. In discussing this passage:
 * Then the priest that initiated them, called Ἱεροφαντης [the Hierophant], proposed certain questions, as, whether they were fasting, &c., to which they returned answers in a set form.
 * he writes:
 * The etcetera here might not strike a casual reader; but it is a pregnant etcetera, and contains a great deal.
 * So he's not saying that the notation means, or always is, a pregnant etcetera; he's presupposing that it means, or is, an etcetera, and is saying that this specific instance is "pregnant".
 * (By the way, for anyone else reading this discussion, the full context is at .)

Talk:real McCoy

Etymology

 * Header added post hoc

It is supposed to come from the 1880's where it was applied to whiskey which was exported to the USA and Canada, where the phrase was kept alive. In the 1890's it applied to the boxer Kid McCoy (the real McCoy). In the Britain it was corrupted to the real McKay.

Reference
2005 Brewers Dictionayr of phrase & fable. 17th ed.

 * Unsigned comment of 08:26, 2006 June 25 by Andrew massyn

 * According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this is a slightly mangled version of the true etymology. The original advertising slogan was "A drappie o' the real McKay" dating from before 1856.  This Scottish whisky (NB not Irish whiskey) may well have been imported to America along with the slogan, but "McKay" was the original whiskey distiller, and it was corrupted to "real McCoy" in the USA (probably from the boxer - was he from San Francisco? - the San Francisco Post was using the expression in 1916).  There are other dubious explanations floating around, but the OED has re-researched this recently and is confident enough to broadcast the etymology on British TV (Suzi Dent on Channel 4's "Countdown").    D b f  i  r  s   16:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Of course keep - RfV removed. SemperBlotto 22:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as a very common phrase in the 1980s, but I have modded the wording to be less POV, as suggested. Will add quotes another time. Connel: there is no direct right equivalent, mainly because the phrase was chiefly used in newspapers, and the British press (at least those parts writing for people who need alliteration to remember what they think) tends toward the right. Loony lefties themselves are by definition too PC to say anything offensive about their opponents.  However some of us who are more forthright would refer to the right-wing equivalent as merchant bankers. --Enginear 01:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * This month's phrase in the same newspapers is of course the Rooney right foot, but I hope that is stamped out long before anyone considers it worthy for setting up a header here! To anyone far enough away from Britain not to know what that's about...I wish I was too :-P --Enginear 01:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * There's nothing you can list as an antonym? Oh my.  I do recall having heard this term once before, but that was quite a while back, here on Wiktionary (in a similar nomination a couple years ago, IIRC.)  --Connel MacKenzie T C 02:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What a challenge! In searching for loony left quotes, I've just found two 20th C cases (<<1%)where it was contrasted with rabid right. According to Google books, in 21st C, both phrases seem to be occasionally in use in US too (re HRC & GWB). Enginear 16:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What about right-wing nutjob? Plenty of hits, as it was used in that Bush/Kerry video... bd2412 T 17:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And could also be used of some rugby players, and their fouls. Enginear 16:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering - does the US have neolibs as well as neocons? SemperBlotto 11:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Latin-American?
Latin-American? How can the word's etymology be Latin-American? Jon Harald Søby 10:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps they meant an American Romanization of the Japanese term? --Connel MacKenzie 22:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

RFD discussion
Wiktionary is not a database of fictional species. --Yair rand 18:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't feel all that strongly. I supposed we should move to WT:RFV to look for attributive use. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Would you delete unicorn or mermaid? The only question is: are they words? I think so. Lmaltier 21:27, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think it is the only question; while that is your personal policy, it is not our overall policy (not even on fr.wikt I might add). Mglovesfun (talk) 17:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 1st sentence of CFI: As an international dictionary, Wiktionary is intended to include “all words in all languages”.. This principle is also applied on fr.wikt. Lmaltier 21:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Including all trademarks, like these? Someone want to find attributive/generic use? Equinox ◑ 16:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

If no attributive or generic use is found, the entry Pokémon may simply be moved into Appendix:Pokémon/P. --Daniel. 04:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I can vouch for both of these words being fairly common use amongst younger English kids. They usually say things like my Digimon can beat your Digimon and did you just see that Digimon digivolve? While it might not be able to be used attributively, I still think that we should have an Appendix for both of these terms that list all of the species; that way, we can cover both of these terms without having to suffer the loss of them. Razorflame 13:20, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, I think this goes for all toy brands. "My Transformer is cooler than yours. I'm getting an Action Man. She has three Barbies." Equinox ◑ 14:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It does. Razorflame 14:17, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I think it would be a huge mistake to try to include every trademark in a dictionary. Equinox ◑ 03:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Does Criteria for inclusion/Brand names apply here? --Yair rand 18:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete Unicorn and mermaid are not protected names invented in 1996 to sell toys. Unless someone cites these properly according to the relevant bits of WT:NAMES, our guidelines do not allow them to remain. —Michael Z. 2010-03-22 16:38 z

 * They are words, but if kept should be moved to translingual. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Kept for no consensus, though Yair rand is right about WT:BRAND; that's been applied several times since this entry was nominated. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Per the deletion debate, this needs to pass WT:BRAND. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The last two senses might only fall under WT:FICTION, actually. Or maybe both WT:BRAND and WT:FICTION? --Yair rand (talk) 18:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Note: [ [Pokémon]] now tagged with. —msh210℠ (talk) 20:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

RFV failed, entries deleted. —Ruakh TALK 19:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Loads of links need fixing: Equinox ◑ 10:27, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * No, not that many: Special:WhatLinksHere/Pokémon. —Ruakh TALK 13:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * . . . and, now we're O.K. (I never bother fixing indices, since those get generated automatically; non-content pages are obviously a non-issue; and [[MissingNo.]] is itself listed at RFV, so can get fixed up if/when it passes.) Thanks for the nudge; usually I clean up links immediately, but a few entries, such as this one and [[Spider-Man]], have so many inlinks that I procrastinate them for a while . . . —Ruakh TALK 13:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Odd
I think it is odd that Wiktionary provides definitions for a few terms related to Pokémon, but does not include that of Pokémon itself. ZFT (talk) 05:11, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Recent Pokémania
The word is now listed in oxforddictionaries.com and dictionary.com. I'm definitely against listing all various Pokémon characters / related sub-words but an entry for the thing itself would not hurt. – Jberkel (talk) 17:13, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. There should at least be an entry for it, as it has definitely entered popular language by now and the majority of people are aware of it, and even use it colloquially when talking about the Pokémon Go game that has blown up recently. I feel like the decision to delete was made because some were afraid of a slippery slope where that would mean all the sub-words and species would have to be added or that other trademarked toy and game brands would also be fair game. But this may now be a special case. Also, if you look many of the other language Wiktionaries do indeed have entries for Pokémon. There are also related words to it in this one (for example ), despite the main entry not being there, which, as someone else noted, is is a bit strange. Word dewd544 (talk) 17:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Years ago, I attempted to create a lot of words for Pokémon species. Eventually, I understood that most are unwanted, and unattested. I created Citations:Pokémon in 2015 (after those RFD/RFV discussions above), with citations that hopefully should be able to pass WT:BRAND but I didn't create the entry because I was trying to focus on other projects instead of fictional terms, and I was curious to see how long it would take for someone else to create the entry. Presumably, anyone can create the entry with these citations. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 17:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Audio....
Is there any way we can get a better quality audio of the pronunciation?....And in the meantime maybe just delete the existing audio clip, since the recording is frankly so horrible that I think it does more harm than good in terms of showing people how it's pronounced.

The audio quality is very poor, and the pronunciation is also very slurred and unclear....I don't even here the N consonant at the end of the word - the last syllable sounds more like "ma" and it almost sounds like there's a hint of an R at the end. I'm pretty sure this is NOT a common pronunciation of "Pokémon" in any dialect of English. I've heard it as "Po-kay-mon," "Po-key-mon," and "Po-keh-mon" (the latter being closest to the original pronunciation), but never anything like this clip.

I mean no offense intended to whoever made this - good on them for making an effort and all - but honestly, it's just really bad! -2003:CA:8710:6F0D:F7A3:B6C6:7092:DC36 14:49, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

User:Norm~enwiktionary

Actually, I think I can better explain the abruptness with which new users are treated. Part of it is because, rather than Wiktionary editors being rude, Wikipedia editors (for a variety of reasons) are very, very lax. Part of the differences are also likely that nature of Wiktionary - where the only thing to contribute is (mostly) academic information rather than fancruft or trivia - means its users are of a significantly different demographic than Wikipedia.

User talk:Norm~enwiktionary

Well then. Welcome sockpuppeter. Sorry, but that doesn't quite have the right ring to it.

Wikipedia has lots of extensions that not every other Wikimedia site has. The "respond on your own talk page" extension is one of them.

There has been some considerable debate lately regarding proper nouns, especially encyclopedic proper nouns, having entries on Wiktionary. But the fictional character debate was pretty much over a month or two ago. These entries are subject to verification just as any other word in the English language is; independent sources spanning over a year from reputable publishers.

Now, Flash Gordon (et al) certainly span more than a year. But almost all fail the independence test(s). These characters are all from the same source.

Using this criteria, allows Wiktionary to retain reasonable entries such as "Martian" or "unicorn" which are, in fact, words. It also gives sysops the flexibility to nominate non-dictionary material for deletion (or simply delete it outright.)

I cannot convey strongly enough my disappointment that when you did resort to sockpuppets (which you obviously knew was a Bad Thing) you didn't then use talk pages, but rather stubbornly readded deleted entries. I do hope you can see why that can only aggravate the situation, causing increased resistance to your activities.

It must have been plain, after the first deletion, that your assumptions were a little off. Flash Gordon has been deleted three times in the last few hours. As much as I've tried to support 'fictional character' entries in the past, I'm afraid that I too would delete it on sight now. It is unlikely that that could ever be a proper Wiktionary entry.

As Wiktionary evolves, so too, does the CFI. Lately, the sentiment has been towards tightening the criteria for inclusion, not relaxing it to be more descriptive than it already is. Any reference to Flash Gordon here on Wiktionary is very likely, going to be limited to Flash Gordon style links. --Connel MacKenzie T C 12:05, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Norm. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Norm~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I explain my reasoning here. A lot of other languages have already moved to this, I'm just trying to make our pages more consistent.  The new categories should also make it easier for the programers to come in and do automated things.  However, you do have a valid point.  If you would like, we can redirect from the old category to the new one.
