Talk:Tigger
The translations are for the actual character, but that doesn't match the definition we have of a bouncing, energetic person. Equinox ◑ 00:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

This is a hot-word more than one year old. I find several mentions in the press between February and July 2019, but (perhaps) nothing since then, with the following possible exception:
- 2020 May 5, John Crace, “Matt Hancock's career continues to win the battle with his conscience”, in The Guardian[1]:
- Normally Matt Hancock is relentlessly upbeat. The very model of middle-management enthusiasm. The Tigger who gives good meeting and likes to say yes.
If this is the relevant sense, then I guess I've verified my own request. While I'm not entirely up on British politics, though, I think the Independent Group were main Labour and Liberal Democrats, and Hancock is a Conservative. Cnilep (talk) 06:09, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- That example is etymology 1 "overly enthusiastic or energetic person, often characterized by bouncing", which is habitually applied to Hancock as an epithet for whatever reason. As such the Independent Group only existed for 10 months or so in 2019 before being thoroughly wiped out in the December election, but I can find a very small number of "historical" references in media from 2020: [2], [3], [4] (paywalled: "These Tigger MPs were brave", referring to the group), .—Nizolan (talk) 12:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Cited, I think: a newspaper, magazine, and recently published book, squeaking past a one-year span. —Nizolan (talk) 00:52, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
