Caughtem[edit]
I believe Gotem(speech), a close ally of this "article", has already been through VfD and failed. It's time to delete Caughtem, too, for the same reasons. At best it's a neologism, at worst a hoax. Either way it's an orphan to boot. (It was labeled a "linguistics stub", which I changed to a normal stub, because even if it does stay, it has nothing to do with linguistics.) --Angr 20:23, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Patent nonsense, speedy delete. Martg76 21:24, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Someone find some justification for a speedy deletion. Let's get it out of here before the trolls return. -R. fiend 21:33, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as non-notable neologism of no encyclopedic notability. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:37, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete local neologism is not of common interest. - Jeltz talk 21:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- This article is a very obvious minor variation on Gotem(speech) that was created almost as soon as Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gotem(speech) was closed and the original deleted. Speedy delete under a combination of criteria G3 (silly vandalism) and G4 (re-posting of previously deleted content). Uncle G 21:54, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)
- Speedy I agree. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:05, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or could this be moved to Wiktionary perhaps. bakuzjw (aka 578) 22:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone provides more notable evidence. Zzyzx11 00:29, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Deleted - re-posting of previous deleted content. Jayjg (talk) 05:33, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Caughtem is a word of particular interest in Florida. It's origins are unknown, although it is suspected to be similar in meaning to gotem(speech). The word can be used in jubilant or otherwise celebratory situations, as well as if a person, place, or thing (see noun) is in a difficult situation requiring outside intervention. Caughtem is a controversial word because its similarity to gotem(speech) sometimes invokes cognitive dissonance during colloquial speeches as listeners are unable to distinguish differences in meaning.
- Delete. Good call by Jayjg. Not the identical sequence of wors, but patently an attempt to recreate an article within a topic area that was judged to be wildly unencyclopedic in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gotem(speech). I'm formally adding my delete vote just in case the speedy doesn't stick. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:00, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
