Origins of "Dox".[edit]

I thought the term "Dox" described a woman of little virtue, a tease, and dated from the middle to late 18th Century. 2A00:23C4:4A8E:6E01:84E2:ED4C:BEF5:C88F (talk) 16:26, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just searched a few online dictionaries, and couldn't find mention of that usage. Do you have an example you could quote here? HiLo48 (talk) 02:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a mistaken reference to Doxie (which is old, and does mean a disreputable woman). Either way, not in-scope for this page. Oblivy (talk) 02:53, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
