Another dictionary word. Apparently it matters on the Miller Analogies Test whether you know this word that is never actually used. Google Books comes up with two quasi-relevant hits: Science in elementary education: methods, concepts, and inquiries (2005) has "Crocodiles are bulls, cows, and crocklets and the families..." but I can't get a full quote from Google Books. (Its form is of a use, but it really smells more like a mention.) Thingamajigs and Whatchamacallits: Unfamiliar Terms for Familiar Things (2011) has "Even though a crocklet may not have the bite force of an adult crocodile (whose bite force is more than ten times that of a great white shark), you would be unwise to stick your hand near a crocklet's open jaws."--but it's an example sentence in a dictionary, and I really think it shouldn't count.--Prosfilaes00:20, 16 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
I agree that the 2011 quotation shouldn't count, and I believe it doesn't — I believe WT:CFI forbids it by saying " Conveying meaning filters out made-up examples of how a word might be used". - -sche(discuss)01:10, 16 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
I agree. And the snippet that Google Books gives me for the 2005 cite is "Peafowl include peacocks, peahens, and peachicks with the family name of muster, ostentation, or pride. Crocodiles are bulls, cows, and crocklets and the families are basks or congregations. Sharks are bulls, females, pups, ", which I agree is too mention-y to count. —RuakhTALK19:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
