Wrestling?
I deleted the following. It's out of place, and possibly a clumsy attempt at guerrilla marketing. If someone really feels it's worth it, then the proper thing to do is to write neutral text (not such a puff piece) for new pages "Mukluk (wrestler)" and "Oahu (wrestler)" in. I suppose end-of-the-main-article disambiguation links could be inserted at "Mukluk" and Oahu" but personally I wouldn't want to see that&mdash;let's not "muk up" straightforward articles.

== Mukluk-Oahu Feud == Mukluk is also the name of the famous wrestler from WCW vs. the World. He is most famous for his 30 minute bouts with Oahu. This much publicized rivalry between Mukluk and Oahu has grown to mythic proportions. Mukluk currently hold the TJK and Shackles Belts.

rubber boots
Is it also slang for rubber boots? --Gbleem 00:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No. Depending on the dialect the word "naluktuq" means "wades into water" (in other places it means "swimming" amd refers to only animals and not humans). A variation on it, "naluk" would be "splashing in puddles". Rubber boots or hip waders would be (and I don't have the correct spelling right now) something like "naluktiq".

 * I forgot that there is the combined Inuinnaqtun/English word "naluking". Which tends to refer to children spalsing in puddles or an adult acting like a child and doing the same. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

derogatory
urban dictionary questionable source says it's a derogatory term for eskimo. --Gbleem 14:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Spellcheck
"In the Inuipiaq language the "u" makes an "oo" sound, and so the spelling "maklak" is used with the same pronunciation." To which I have to say, "Huh?" I don't see the connection. TREKphiler  hit me ♠  00:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that sentence is less than clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.89.149.2 (talk) 19:06, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
