Russian slang

[edit]

The following piece is removed from article:

  • The Russian internet slang word "boyan" or "bayan", although commonly thought to be related to Boyan, has an entirely different origin. It is based on an event when a number of Russian joke sites were continuously spammed by the same joke about a mother-in-law burial, at which two bayans (a type of accordion, itself named after Boyan) were torn. Soon after this word started to refer to any overused or old joke, and generally any old news.

Unfortunately it fails en:wiki verifiability criteria. Russian wikipedia, with its more lax attitude, has an interesting article ru:Баян (сленг), unfortunately unportable to en: for the same WP:V reasons. `'Míkka>t 23:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's so lax about its attitude? There are tonns of articles on internet memes in the English Wikipedia. --217.172.29.4 (talk) 06:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
