WP:NOTDIC. Aside from dictionary entries the only academic source I could find was The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren by Iona and Peter Opie, though both mentions of the phrase appear to be unrelated to this meaning. There was some non-academic coverage such as from Jim Dawson who appears to be more of a humor writer rather than a subject matter expert. Otherwise I don't see anything that makes this subject encyclopedic. QuietHere (talk) 05:30, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * For reference, here is the Opie book. The two mentions are on pages 61 and 406. If there's a way to link directly to specific pages from Google Books then I don't know/remember it. QuietHere (talk) 05:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete cannot find any significant coverage, also the first AfD is laughable. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  09:07, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Wow, I didn't even see that one. Golly, those arguments are so persuasive! I should just withdraw right now!
 * That, of course, was sarcasm. Wow, 2005 WP sure was a time, huh. QuietHere (talk) 10:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Pull my finger! No, this is not notable. Delete for any kind of sourcing on the subject. Oaktree b (talk) 16:18, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
