Tossed Salad[edit]

Ewwwwww... do we really need articles on disgusting sexual positions? Luigi30 03:52, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge with Anal-oral contact. Goplat 03:59, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect only to annilingus. Again, I, apparently, have not been keeping up with the kids. Apparently, this is a Howard Stern-generated or propagated term. Geogre 05:21, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • anilingus is a redirect to Anal-oral contact. Redirect to Anal-oral contact. Mike H 05:23, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • I would recommend a disambig, rather than a re-direct. I don't think we want someone looking up info about a healthy side dish for a barbeque to end up at an article about rimming :) -- Chuq 05:28, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Oh, yeh. Forgot totally. I have dirty on the brain. :) Mike H 05:32, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Why are we even voting about this? :-) This page should be deleted completely or possibly redirected to Salad. I has nothing to do with sex at all as that term is referred to as "salad tossing" because it's something you DO, not a noun. I can redirect it immediately and we can stop this farce. any objections? --Regebro 12:07, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • What you consider to be disgusting, Luigi30, has no bearing on whether or not an article should be included in the encyclopædia. If this slang term is indeed in common use, then I suggest a redirect to annilingus or anal-oral contact. —Psychonaut 21:07, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I second Chug - disambig, not redirect - "tossed salad" is definitely used frequently to mean regular old salad with lettuce and tomatoes. Spangineer 23:45, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • transwiki. This is a straight dictionary definition, it belongs on wiktionary. There is no difference between tossed salad and ass-licking, rimming, or whatever else you want to call it. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 00:06, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I think specifics of the act described here (prison and jelly) are borrowed from Chris Rock's "Bring the Pain" (but it isn't an actual quote). Move to tossed salad and disambiguate. -Sean Curtin 00:37, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Content might be moved to the rimming article in principle, but defining a mainstream term for a common food item as prison jargon for slurpin' the strawberry ain't encyclopedic, and diminishes wiki. Wyss 00:46, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, or use this title to refer to the food. Concur with Wyss, but even more importantly concur with Regebro: to the best of my knowledge no one calls this "tossed salad" they call it "salad tossing" or "tossing [someone's] salad": verb, not noun. Has anyone ever heard this exact term used this way? -- Jmabel | Talk 08:17, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
    • Was Google broken when you asked this?  ;) 12,600 hits for "tossed salad" +sex. Other combinations bring up similarly strong numbers. --[[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 19:04, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • The first four are relevant; of the next 16, 15 are coincidence and only one (a stupid joke about Calvin Klein) is relevant. I suspect that you Google test may be misleading, since this suggests that it overstates the matter by a factor of four. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:07, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge possibly with List of sex positions. --MPerel 16:50, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • To answer Luigi30 first: Yes, we do and should carry articles on "disgusting sexual positions". As for my vote: keep and disambiguate as sensibly suggested by Chuq, or as others affectionately refer to him, Chug. --[[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 18:59, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd redirect it to salad, but redirect phrases like "toss the salad" and "tossing the salad" to anal-oral contact. "Tossed salad" appears as an item on menus and in cookbooks, but the other phrases are deliberately different and usually refer only to the sexual practice. Inky 22:13, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • What you are saying, Inky, is in direct opposition to the 12,600 google hits I mentioned above. Our job on Wikipedia VfD is not to redefine terms already in use. Disambiguate, do not redefine. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 22:49, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • Point taken. Keep and disambiguate then. We're a little behind the times on slang down here in Texas. I mean, we're still using "gold mining" as slang for picking one's nose. :-) Inky 04:39, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • I suppose you are right, although as remarked above, many of these Google hits are coincidental conjunctions. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:44, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
      • It's not in direct opposition to the hits. Most hits having to do with rimming actually use terms like "toss my salad" or "salad tossing". And, if we disambiguate, then we add a dictionary definition into wikipedia, which is wrong. There is no reason to disambiguate. --Regebro 08:59, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate with the sexual reference pointing to Anal-oral contact. Euphoria 05:09, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate. As stands, this is just a dicadef. --L33tminion | (talk) 00:02, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Redirect to salad --Carnildo 00:53, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Disambiguate, as Euphoria suggests. The other should probably point into wikibooks recipies. --Improv 19:46, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate Hazzamon 12:32, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
