Talk:Farb (reenactment)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I provided the true origin of this term. The business about "Far be it for me to criticise," while widespread, is incorrect, as my research shows. - Jonah Begone

This is extremely specific. I question the encyclopedic value of this as a separate article.

"This is extremely specific. I question the encyclopedic value of this as a separate article." - I see your point, but does it help if you think of farbs as being people rather than simply a word? - Jonah Begone —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.207.242.4 (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Farb as a word, is pretty generic. I think the Urban Dictionary defines it best; simply an inaccurate reenactor. It can be utilized as a noun, verb, or adjective, depending on its application. As with any derogatory word, its function can easily be swayed depending on the nature of its usage! "FARB!" What does that imply?

Also, in the Origin explanation, should the reference to the German word be Farbe? Or is the spelling Farb used correctly in this sentence? Msctrojan (talk) 09:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
