Supposedly fictitious entry in a 1943 edition of Websters. But the only reference for this provided is a radio DJs blog, and that DJ is reporting something a caller to the radio station told them - so utterly unreliable. No other references found. I42 (talk) 21:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to confirm (having no access to that particular dictionary) that it is a fictitious entry - however, the radio broadcast did seem to confirm it so I listed it as a reference. L☺g☺maniac chat? 21:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have found another report which has Websters denying this ever happened. I42 (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears just to be claiming that it is not a real bird... L☺g☺maniac chat? 21:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I misread it. The article seems to confirm that the word did appear in the dictionary. I will withdraw the AfD. (Fascinating story, too!) I42 (talk) 21:25, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
