I'm nominating this article for deletion for lack of notability. It appears to be a neogolism or slang, and is not in common use. I don't think this is an encycleopedic article, and the term doesn't appear to be in common use (a google search listed 810 hits, most on wikipedia or other sites that duplicate wiki content). Additionally, the article cites no references and has been a stub for a long time without much activity (over a year and a half). Spark could be an appropriate place for the content, or perhaps Snipe hunt.Iepeulas (talk) 01:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:A. This appears to be a neologism, or otherwise something somebody made up one day Ohconfucius (talk) 02:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Is it one word or two? A²Kafir (and...?) 02:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Wikipedia is not for things made up in the machine shop one day. There are tons of industry-specific pranks of this variety (e.g. "bucket of steam"), and almost none of them have notability. Mention in snipe hunt (a/k/a fool's errand) is sufficient given this is basically a neologism and thus an unlikely search term. --Dhartung | Talk 08:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
