country bumpkin

A bumpkin from the country. Keep translations, though.__Gamren (talk) 11:46, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm. I'm leaning towards keep as it seems to be one of those common collocations. — SMUconlaw (talk) 15:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Keep. Country bumpkin is much more common than just bumpkin. In fact, the former term probably came first. ---> Tooironic (talk) 11:44, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Keep, more or less a set phrase. DonnanZ (talk) 13:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Delete. It is SOP. Kiwima (talk) 01:54, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm afraid you're mistaken. Reference added. DonnanZ (talk) 02:09, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

It can also be cited as country-bumpkin. Leasnam (talk) 02:13, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

country bumpkin

Why on earth should this be deleted? I was using it tonight, and looked it up to explain to an ESL student

Because it basically just means a bumpkin from the country. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:07, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, I don't know why the RFD tag is still on it. The discussion was closed as keep last August. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Closed: there was no consensus to delete it in the last discussion, and it appears that the RFD tag was accidentally not removed after that discussion was closed. — SGconlaw (talk) 08:01, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
