''It has been suggested that the origins of the slur are in the slang word for semen, basically implying that the person in question is a "waste of sperm".''  It seems equally possible that the term arose independantly of this meaning in the Newfoundland context.  Can anyone source this or is this just somebody's personal speculation? Looks a bit like original research that I'd favor removing, unless someone has some experience with them being connected.  [[User:Nonpl(contracted; show full)
Who wrote this?  Slang is rarely used in the semiformal mode this is written in.  If this is meant to be serious, as an example of how skeet might be used, it still needs a rewrite, but is fine as far as style.  Otherwise, scrap it.  The 'pedia is not comedy. --[[User:Netcrusher88|'Net]] 01:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

:This may be a quotation from a set of KnockKnock's "Slang Flashcards", which use retro images along with ludicrous situations to illustrate the use of slang, e.g. "Look at her walking through the bake sale with all that <i>steelo</i>."  I'm not sure how "scholarly" a source the cards are; however, the definitions they feature are excellent, even featuring parts of speech and synonyms.

"''otherwise known as a "dirt stache '''nigger'''''" - who wrote this?  Is this vandalism?  I've NEVER heard of the term "dirt stache nigger" before.  I've removed the word "nigger" - if this is a fact, could someone tell me what exactly it means and where it comes from? [[User:Crabbyass|Crabbyass]] 00:54, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
:Thank you for removing that; it was indeed vandalism. --[[User:Zippo|Zippo]] 12:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
