IOKIYAR[edit]
A dictionary definiton, with no indications as to the actual popularity of the abbreviation, or citations to demonstrate that this hasn't simply been made up. Uncle G 18:20, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

- It's OK if you're deleted. humblefool® 00:27, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I've certainly seen it frequently enough on the liberal blogs, and I can imagine someone actually looking it up (like Reality-based community) if they're encountering it for the first time. Ironically enough, the article demonstrates its notability and violation of Wiki rules simultaneouesly: it's a copyvio, a direct lift from a Paul Krugman column of a few weeks ago. Keep, if cleaned-up to encyclopedia standards. --Calton 00:35, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, rewrote completely, though I still don't think it's up to snuff. Needs history, better citations, and (probably) an NPOV check (I don't trust myself on this) to be worthy of article status. --Calton 02:08, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
