Dori dori
Not even a dictdef, just the Japanese pronunciation of an English word. RickK 10:25, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Do we have a list of Japanese onomatopoeias here or on Wiktionary that this can be merged into? If not, just delete. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 10:32, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, foreign dictionary definition. Megan1967 11:14, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Either Keep and merge if the list exists, Delete otherwise.Ethereal 11:22, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki unless something more than a dicdef can be found - David Gerard 13:15, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Why transwiki? This is not a definition of a word, this is the Japanese pronunciation of an English term.  RickK 21:19, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * The word is used in Japanese (|medium|large|xlarge image search), so it would be helpful to be able to look it up in wiktionary. Kappa 01:35, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you confirm that the definition is correct, though? While it certainly looks reasonable, I'm hesitant to transwiki without some kind of confirmation; it's not in any of the dictionaries I have handy, and my Japanese is so out of practice as to make searching through the google hits impractical.  (Admittedly, I don't have a specialized gitaigo dictionary.) &mdash;Korath (Talk) 02:14, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually the google image hits above confirm that it's used for drift racing. I've rewritten it to clarify that. Kappa 10:18, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
