[edit] Gender issues

Is there a gender associated with standardistA? Would a person of the male persuasion be a standardistO? --Bob 17:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I am pretty sure I did not coin the term

I thought so for a long time, but Tomas Caspers pointed me to some antecedents. It has been surprisingly difficult to track the whole history of previous attestations, something I attempted for a slang-dictionary entry.

It is fair to say I popularized the term.

[edit] Pejorative use

Someone interested in working on this article might also point out that the term standardista is often used in a pejorative, or at least ironic, sense. Persist1 00:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should this article be copied to Wiktionary?

In my opinion, this should be copied to Wiktionary. It's not very short -- even for a stub -- and it is merely a jargon term. Any thoughts? --J. Atkins ^{(talk - contribs)} 18:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
