Untitled[edit]

I could come up with a picture of a pair if anyone is interested... my wife has made these in the past... just contact me on my wikipedia page. KellyCoinGuy

Wrestling?[edit]

I deleted the following. It's out of place, and possibly a clumsy attempt at guerrilla marketing. If someone really feels it's worth it, then the proper thing to do is to write neutral text (not such a puff piece) for new pages "Mukluk (wrestler)" and "Oahu (wrestler)" in [[Category:Professional wrestlers]]. I suppose end-of-the-main-article disambiguation links could be inserted at "Mukluk" and Oahu" but personally I wouldn't want to see that—let's not "muk up" straightforward articles.

== Mukluk-Oahu Feud ==
Mukluk is also the name of the famous wrestler from WCW vs. the World.  He is most famous for his
30 minute bouts with Oahu. This much publicized rivalry between Mukluk and Oahu has grown
to mythic proportions.  Mukluk currently hold the TJK and Shackles Belts.

Photo[edit]

Could someone please get a photo of some mukluks? Thanks. Deco 00:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

rubber boots[edit]

Is it also slang for rubber boots? --Gbleem 00:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. Depending on the dialect the word "naluktuq" means "wades into water" (in other places it means "swimming" amd refers to only animals and not humans). A variation on it, "naluk" would be "splashing in puddles". Rubber boots or hip waders would be (and I don't have the correct spelling right now) something like "naluktiq". CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot that there is the combined Inuinnaqtun/English word "naluking". Which tends to refer to children spalsing in puddles or an adult acting like a child and doing the same. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

derogatory[edit]

urban dictionary questionable source says it's a derogatory term for eskimo. --Gbleem 14:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1 up 4 down on urban dictionary does not = truth Kaneda —Preceding comment was added at 00:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spellcheck[edit]

"In the Inuipiaq language the "u" makes an "oo" sound, and so the spelling "maklak" is used with the same pronunciation." To which I have to say, "Huh?" I don't see the connection. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 00:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that sentence is less than clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.89.149.2 (talk) 19:06, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
