::These are basically the only three reputable sources that include the word. With all due respect to Max Tempers, you can't just invent a phrase from whole cloth, make a Misplaced Pages article for it, and then say "omg this is spreading". Maybe give it a few months, see if it catches on. None of the info in this article seems to be overtly wrong, it's just that the phrase isn't relevant. ] (]) 14:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC) ] (]) 14:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC) |

::::Whilst I don’t think this phrase '''yet''' merits a Misplaced Pages article (I expect it will in the future), I can’t help but sense from your use of quotation marks there that you have biases in your commenting here, @]. ] (]) 18:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC) |

I don't think a single article in The Telegraph and some kunley_drukpa-adjacent Twitter chatter makes this term a thing. Immigration to the United Kingdom is a totally decent article that does everything this page does, except sans the snazzy Twitter terminology...and if you're unhappy with it, then just edit that article.
