Glossary of Wobbly terms

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP should not be a dictionary or glossary, although of course other stuff exists. Although I am confident that many IWW members did use these expressions there is no evidence given that they are specific to this one group and in most cases did not originate with them. "No original research" seems to apply. Borock (talk) 15:18, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Correction: Since the IWW still exists (although more notable historically) there are probably still members saying some of these things. Borock (talk) 22:59, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Industrial Workers of the World WP:STAND and MOS:GLOSSARIES allow glossary lists like this. Much of this is fancruft, written by an IWW member. This list needs to be cut down to linked and cited terms and most of this content should be on Wiktionary. I cannot !vote keep lest this article remain in poor shape.
