[edit] Hyrd

not for something you made up at leeds university one day - contested speedy. Fredrick day 23:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm from Lancaster and i have to admit that the practice of using hyrd's is widespread. I myself frequently use them as well as many of my friends and the wider community. I agree with Luke. I think hyrds are a massive new phenomonen and should be embraced.

yeah mate, i use them and love them! keep it on!

• Delete as a hoax/article on a protologism. Definately made up in school - Peripitus (Talk) 00:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Acknowledgment that it is a neologism and portmanteau has been made. I still believe the article is valid. Peripitus, with all due respect, coming from Adelaide (lovely city by the way), I don't see how you can comment on a trend in the UK.- Luke Ward
