I found the mention of showing a film of paint drying to the censors amusing. That is almost enough reason to accept. Robert McClenon ( talk) 03:40, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Never use self-published sources as third-party sources about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer.We are implying Warren may be the source of the phrase. I am just crossing every t and dotting every i for the crazies at ERRORS. --- C& C ( Coffeeandcrumbs) 19:37, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
This is probably one of the worst written (and most pointless) articles I’ve seen in a long time. No decent entomology for the term (just some original research) and a series of stubby paragraphs that may as well be done as bullet points. It feels like the bottom of the barrel has been scraped with this, although there should be a very short explanation of the term and it’s origins (possibly only on the Wiki dictionary). That this is on the front page shows just how poor Wiki can be when people try to hard for some front page validation. - 213.205.194.143 ( talk) 22:22, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
