The result was delete. I would strongly advise against transwikiing anything that is not already in the Wikitionary entry, it is unlikely to comply with their CFI. Spinning Spark 17:29, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As cool as a cucumber

Non-notable idiom. Origin blatantly hoax, but not quite enough to qualify for CSD I think. Creator removed a PROD already. ⁓ Hello 71 22:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Note that this simile is found at Wiktionary. No reason to retain it here. Safiel (talk) 23:45, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary (or a collection of etymologies). Why is a Russian book by "Shitova" cited? Hmmm, no idea. Urban Dictionary is thattaway.-----> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrite (talk • contribs) 18:48, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki if there's anything useful at this article not already over at the Wiktionary page. Otherwise, delete. Though as an aside, I don't believe this is a hoax; I've heard it many times throughout my life. Go Phightins! 03:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki - this is a well known phrase in British English, but if you really want a source,this book is one. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's a real phrase; I stated that "the origin appears to be a hoax". ⁓ Hello 71 21:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki; it's not a hoax but at the same time not encyclopedic. dci | TALK 07:43, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
