Despite some passing uses of this neologism in 2009, it clearly has not become established as a real term. As per WP:NEO, an article on a neologism should not be supported by uses of a new term, but rather by reliable secondary sources that talk about the term. I have not been able to find any such sources. Even uses of the term online are almost nil since the few references in 2009. Moreover, much of the article is original research, and citations 1+2 (that purport to support most of the text, including almost all the examples) are broken links. Some other citations do not use the term as a noun, or do not use the term at all. The article should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and because, as per WP:NEO, the page may be a (stale and failed) attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term. cmhTC 03:28, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I was unable to find reliable secondary sources that mention this neologism. I also agree that this article is loaded with OR --Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  14:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I'd never heard this term and was unable to find any reliable source using it, nor was I able to find it in any of the available sources referenced in the article. Poltair (talk) 19:36, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
