Nothing more a dicdef and etymology. No reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC) Transwiki. Seems everyone hates wiktionary. Moving (merging?) this there with a redirect keeps all the info, and puts the definition and entymology in the correct place. Also wikitionary should use primary sources, of which there are many. Otherwise delete as dictionary def.Yobmod (talk) 15:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A nearly 3 year old article with zero reliable sources as TenPound Hammer notes. Artene50 (talk) 06:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just a dictionary definition of an interesting word with some etymology - not an encyclopaedic topic --Peripitus (Talk) 13:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * KEEP -Certainly qualifies as a noted human body position and is included in that category. No sources? Source it. If all the other body positions which have their own articles (kneeling, sitting, standing, etc) are really dicdefs then perhaps the nom would list them here and all could be dealt together along with the category itself.
 * Keep While "just" a dictionary definition, it I agree with the editor above: this is no different than the other stances. Plenty of RS via a google search including dictionaries.  Hobit (talk) 00:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - noted in cultural studies and semiotics books. Bearian (talk) 00:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
