Newly added: US slang: "a male person". Equinox ◑ 00:51, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Not an adequate definition of the slang and not sure it's been used generally for over a year. e.g. the relevant ghits for "don't worry king" are all from 2020, and the Urban Dictionary entry was only added this February. —Nizolan (talk) 12:00, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- The definition at queen ("A powerful or forceful female person.") may also need some refinement, but ultimately may help us define this (if it is attested...), since the usage I've seen does seem intended to parallel women building each other up by calling each other "queen". - -sche (discuss) 18:16, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- I searched for a few collocations I've seen this used in ("two kings" [looking/staring at each other], "king, you dropped this", "king, sit down", and "king, we have to talk") on Usenet and couldn't find anything. It's real (related to the corresponding sense of queen), as you can see from googling those phrases, but it seems to be too recent and two rare to meet CFI. - -sche (discuss) 10:49, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
RFV-failed If this catches on to a greater extent, perhaps someone can add it back in later. Kiwima (talk) 20:45, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
