Some dictionaries list this as a verb, others don't. Is the verb specific to a certain region? --Connel MacKenzie 22:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

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.

The only sense of this verb I would use in normal conversation is to strike forcefully, as in "to leather a football" (to kick it very hard). --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
