"Substitute for I love you, similar to elephant juice." I get the idea (same lip movements) but if it's dictionary material, how can we cite it? What does it really "mean"? etc. Equinox 16:12, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

One cite can be from The Other Sister (1999), where it's clearly being used to mean "I love you" by the character saying it. (I don't have the DVD at hand.) I'd say it's usually like "l33t" where the denotation is the same as the un-leet version, but the connotation can be quite a bit different.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Haha, looks good to me. Definition can still be improved, if only using some kind of glossing like n-g. Equinox 02:19, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
