Parlour talk
Seems to be a phrase that someone made up in school. Belongs in Urban Dictionary, not here. -- 9cds(talk) 10:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not so hip to this current usage of "parlour talk", but I've heard it used before. A dictionary listing would suffice, as suggested above. PJM 13:09, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Transwiki the entry here even looks like a dictionary entry. --Pboyd04 15:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no sources given. Do not transwiki, unless good verifiable sources are provided prior to expiration of AfD. As the policy says, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit. Editors should therefore provide references. Any edit lacking a source may be removed." In this case, that would be the entire article. (Also, Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day). Dpbsmith (talk) 00:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was going to vote transwiki, but Dpbsmith is right. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
