[edit] Bagurk
Somewhat lengthy writeup for a non-notable neologism. 1,400 results on google [1] apparently none of which really verify term, nothing on Urban Dictionary. [2] W.marsh 23:49, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete May be a hoax. Google finds a lot of hits on message-board postings by bagurk "the noise a chicken makes". - Dalbury (talk) 01:38, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not only is Wikipedia not a dictionary, but a phrase that is 'not in regular use, except among some small communities or groups of friends or peers.' (quote from the page itself) does not even belong in Wiktionary. - Andre Engels 08:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per Andre Engels, who speaks my mind on this issue. → Ξxtreme Unction {yak yak yak ł blah blah blah} 12:51, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

- Transwiki In retrospect, Wiktionary is indeed the better place for this article. I would point out that all words have their origin somewhere; and also that just because it isn't in Urban Dictionary doesn't mean it's not in use. In regard to Dalbury's comment - bagurk (or, at least one of them, though most of them are probably one and the same) is the Lawrence mentioned in the article (see [3]). I attend UQ and can vouch for its usage amoung people there. If usage of the expression continues to spread (I have witnessed this, hence my motivation for creating the article), it may very well end up in Wiktionary sooner or later anyway.
