dumbbutt

RFV-sense of the adjective. It's possible, since dumbass can be used as an adjective, but unlike with that word I'm not seeing any usage here of "more dumbbutt than", "dumbestbutt", or other adjectival usage. It may simply be too rare for such usage/POS to be attested. - -sche (discuss) 05:56, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

{{en-adj}} allows first parameter to be ? to suppress the display of comparative and superlative. {{en-noun}} supports either ? (unknown or uncertain plural) or ! (unattested plural). Wouldn't we want something similar for {{en-adj}}? There is the extra complication that, in principle, the superlative and the comparative would potentially need separate parameters.

I have added three cites. Two of them look pretty clearly adjectival ("so dumbbutt" and "mucho dumbbutt") but the third is possibly used as an attributive noun. Kiwima (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

It looks like a noun used attributively to me. I take it there are not other cites to be found. DCDuring (talk) 22:15, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

There are plenty of cites to be found that use the term in a manner that is either adjectival or as an attributive noun. The 1999 and 2002 were the only two I found, however, that were clearly used as adjectives. Kiwima (talk) 22:37, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

No joy in DARE in any spelling. DCDuring (talk) 23:50, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
