Snowball

A brand of teacake? Not dictonary material--Pilot 12:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Delete, not generic. --Dmol 14:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Weak keep, since snowball (lower case) has an entirley different meaning. --EncycloPetey 14:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand stated rationale for keep. Same argument should have applied to "Shredder" above. DCDuring 14:51, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
The difference is that you can go to the store and buy a "Snowball" (generic noun), while Shredder (above) is a proper noun referring to specific entities. Thus, a reader might come across a sentence about "eating a sugary Snowball" and be curious enough to look it up. --EncycloPetey 19:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Is this generic only outside the US or is my insufficiency of connection to current US culture showing? DCDuring 20:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

It might be dictionary material. It's not in my lexicon, but then WTF is a teacake? Should be RFV'd. DAVilla 19:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
a teacake is a small condiment eaten while drinking tea, in Anglo-English it is also called a cookie... Btw. I've added another SENSE with an external link to prove that this term does exist... So this is a definite keeper. --BigBadBen 20:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Additional sense would be snowball, lowercase. - DaveRoss 00:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
delete - Just another brand name. --Keene 02:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
