I find this a bit inappropriate for a dictionary. Mostly because it makes me laugh, and dictionary definitions shouldn't do that. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
- It's quite hard to cite! Most Google Books results for "oh sugar" seem to be people addressing a sweetheart. Equinox ◑ 21:25, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
- What's that called again, when you use a word that sounds like the start of another, but then change the end to sound like a less vulgar word (e.g. bul-...ogna for bullshit) ? Leasnam (talk) 21:33, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sometimes a person is affectionately called not sugar, but the first syllable: suge? shoog? (For example, Nancy Gribble in King of the Hill always calls people this.) I found Suge Knight but cannot seem to attest that spelling in writing. Equinox ◑ 03:55, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
- "Sug" looks promising DTLHS (talk) 03:57, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
- I think there is also a variant with an "s" at the end, that can probably be spelled any of those ways too. --WikiTiki89 17:31, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
- I've created sug. Equinox ◑ 19:17, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
- I've seen it spelt shug as well as shoog (never sug, though I see that's got some cites) Leasnam (talk) 19:25, 23 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Equinox How is this used? I don't see any results for "sugaring the code" or other inflections. DTLHS (talk) 22:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
- See cites. Perhaps it's not terribly common. Equinox ◑ 22:55, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
