The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

This one is very hard to search for, because of all the false positives. I did find the following:
  • 1957, Flying Wheel, page 7:
    The Black Widow - that's what hotrodders are calling the “unmarked” state highway patrol cruiser prowling these parts.
which is a mention, not a use, but which may be a clue about where this came from. Kiwima (talk) 22:01, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
