No trace of this phrase in Google Books, other than wp mirrors. Given the (blocked) user name of the creator I imagine it relates to a girl name Tamsyn. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Heck of a lot or mirrors of this, but the term doesn't even translate to what is claimed - on Google Translate at least. 'Tam' is apparently 'three', and 'syn' doesn't register ('sin' gives 'sine' in English). Given that this was created by a blocked (for username Poop555) account, I'd say probable hoax or vandalism. Oddly, the best matches I can find for these words are in Czech, Polish and Slovak, where 'tam syn' translates as 'son there' or 'there son'. Not really relevant.

- To take the translation check further, "người từ chối cúi đầu trước" is the Vietnamese for "Person I refuse to bow to" (and it back-translates as "who refused to bow to the"). Peridon (talk) 18:27, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a hoax - see Google Translate. Bearian (talk) 20:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S., for the record, I was the admin who blocked the creator three years ago. Just doing my job mopping up messes, folks. Bearian (talk) 20:14, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Possible hoax, no sources, no evidence of notability. CodeTheorist (talk) 12:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
