Talk:Rusty trombone/Archive 1

Trombones
Hey, wait a minute, brass doesn't rust. Ergo, the term has no legitimate meaning, because it's impossible for a trombone to be rusty! ASWilson 06:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No it isn't; trombones can be made of iron or steel too, can't they? Stonemason89 (talk) 20:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment
I've deleted the origin section completely on the grounds that the quote attributed to Caroll Spinney is in fact not present in the book footnoted. That being true the fact that the song mentioned has the phrase rusty trombone in it bears no specific relationship to the sex act the article is about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.52.223 (talk) 18:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

The quote attributed to Caroll Spinney isn't present in the book. The whole book is very G-rated and something like that would have been out of place. I have a copy in front of me right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.52.223 (talk) 20:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

"Drop trow and squeez out a clevland steamer on my chest"

I don't think this refers quite to a rusty trombone.

I'm glad this was kept. Now with a strong keep in its record, it should stay permanently until Wikipedia is professionally edited. Billy Blythe 18:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

"She played such a sweet rusty trombone, she brought a tear to my eye." Ronnierosenthal 12:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the rust in a rusty trombone refering to a person's forgetfulness at not 'playing' the 'instrument' or does it refer to tasting the minute (or perhaps not so minute) amounts of feces on an anus? 216.9.250.6 08:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Even after surviving TWO AfDs, this article remains completely unsourced, as sources are defined as reliable per WP policies. It needs to establish clear notability by multiple reliable sources to survive another. Editors of this page: Right now is your time. CyberAnth 10:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Am unsure how/whether to work this into the article
In 1970, Oscar the Grouch sang on the children's television show Sesame Street a song entitled I Love Trash (1970) in which Oscar sings with extravagant enthusiasm about a few of his favorite things, such as "A sneaker that's tattered and worn," "A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone." In 1998, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith created a rock version of I Love Trash' (1998). Both I Love Trash (1970) and I Love Trash (1998) were included in the 2003 Sesame Street boxed set entitled Songs From the Street: 35 Years of Music (2003) and identified as one of the ten best songs from Sesame Street over the prior 35 years.

The article could have a section showing an overlapping of the literal meaning use with the development of the disreputable meaning and perhaps how the disreputable meaning encroaches on previous literal meaning usage. I'll leave it up to others as to how/whether to work the above into the article. --  Jreferee  (Talk) 18:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Move for deletion
I think it's time to delete this article -Jesus, lol

Well, that sure was a convincing argument. Care to exaplain why you think the article should be deleted? You might also want to sign your name next time. --Mathew Williams 02:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I second the motion. How the fuck did this make it on Wikipedia?

I also agree that this article is beneath the standard for an encyclopedia,  not because of the actual topic but because the article is almost entirely composed of trivia. Trivia about what TV show or song talks about it isn't relevant to an understanding of a practice. I would like to suggest that all trivia be removed from the article and a lean, succinct definition be crafted inline with encyclopedia standards. - Shovel Sep. 13 2008

Keep this
Both myself and my wife say keep. Keep playing those blues baby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoxSexSax (talk • contribs) 03:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes!! keep this!! I personally believe it's a very important topic that many people look up and are curiouse about. I also think there should be many many more pages of info on the rusty trombone and that such information should be provided to children everywhere. God bless the rusty trombone! God bless it everyone!! the rustier the better I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.68.224 (talk) 09:06, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Untitled
This should be deleted because 1. It is a dictionary definition and 2. This sets a precedent for all kinds of similar sex acts with joke names to have articles 67.161.78.84 (talk) 03:18, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Name in the first paragraph - vandalism?
It isn't mentioned again, it doesn't seem to make much sense either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.119.118.228 (talk) 14:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
