I have just had a rejection for being over four words because the MERP did not accept urbandictionary.com as a valid source, as it is written by users. However, what other source can there be for slang (of the type that is not listed in a standard dictionary)? Also, the point is that the term is definitely used as a single word, not that no source would use it as two words. (Having said that, a single word seems more correct to me in this particular case.) |

It's not on either of those, as one word or two. It's not very rare -- it's just slightly informal English as opposed to street slang.
I titled the thread thus and didn't name the example as I wanted to raise the issue in general. |
