QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral and plagiarism-free. Hook is cited and interesting. QPQ has been done. I only have on qualm, which is admittedly super, super nitpicky: the lead states that the term is slang, yet it isn't mentioned in the body (or sourced in the lead), which would make that claim unsourced...

@Pamzeis: thanks for the speedy review, and good catch! I cut "slang" and replaced it with "informal", because I couldn't find a sturdy enough sourcing ground for it. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 02:50, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't access the source for... some reason. But I think we're good to go! Pamzeis (talk) 03:02, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Older than 2003[edit]

The term is older than 2003. I've heard it used all my life, and I'm pretty old. No need for citation. Yadda yadda original research yadda yadda. 2600:8801:0:2B10:61BE:91CD:FBCA:4CBD (talk) 18:35, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
