[Jesse Sheidlower]

I think you mean June 15th 1941 from Barry? If so, yes, I have it, as well as Hugo's "fubar" examples. Thanks!

I've been grateful for comments, suggestions, and discussion of the word on ADS-L in the past, and I would be even more grateful for even more such right now! Seriously, anything anyone would be willing to say would be most appreciated: antedatings; suggestions for new entries; additional quotations; you want to see discussed in the introduction; corrections. And in particular, anything from my want-list: that's stuff that's harder to search, so people here might be better suited to help than the gen pop.
