Contested PROD; I feel this page fails WP:NOTDICDEF. It had been previously deleted, and from the summary it may be a recreation of such content. --/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 08:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete G4 and A5 Strong Delete Fails WP:NEO, WP:NOTDICDEF, WP:RS, and WP:V. Sole cited source is a Wikipedia article about an episode of a television cooking show.  L0b0t (talk) 17:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)  Vote changed due to presence at Witionary. L0b0t (talk) 00:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I remain unconvinced it's not simply a neologism imparted with an artificial history. Even if it's not, it's already in Wiktionary verbatim, so there's no reason to keep it here. Jclemens (talk) 00:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * delete Me too. Doesn't seem to have enough foul language to be navy slang.  I knew people who got out to go to Thailand and no one ever called it "going bamboo".  The plural of anecdote isn't data, so I can't make a positive claim based on that (besides, maybe this was an old crusty navy term).  The the very least WP:NOTDICDEF applies and the veracity of the claims can be judged by wiktionairy, should this be transwikied. Protonk (talk) 05:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
