Teddy Tired


Article is about a neologism, "teddy tired", which has not gained common currency. A google search for "teddy tired" came up with very few relevant hits, all of which seemed to be from blogs. No reliable secondary sources were cited in the article. I could not verify that the Hoodoo Gurus wrote a song lyric about "teddy tired" with a variety of google searches. The article itself says this neologism is specific to a particular industry and goes on to point out that it is more of a one-man campaign than a common expression in Australia or elsewhere.

 * The Hoodoo Gurus bit is bogus per this, and I distrust anything that can be said to spread like wildfire. Delete. --humblefool&reg; 03:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete most of the ghits are completely unrelated. This would fit better on urban dictionary.  Ultra-Loser  Talk / Contributions 03:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - per above. This is nothing more than a dicdef/neologism. -bobby  15:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. The Hoodoo Gurus song was "Waking Up Tired" which lyrics databases show didn't contain this term. Ebbsco's Australia New Zealand database comes up with nothing on this. Real verifibiality problems with this and if it was verified it would be a dictionary definition. Capitalistroadster 05:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, I distrust neologisms when they're being spread by people with nicknames like "Mikey", "Jono", or "Totters". Lankiveil 06:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC).
