Yes it does. I am not a native English speaker, for instance. And when I heard of the "Bongo Bongo scandal", I had to look it up in the Wikipedia, because I had no idea what it was all about. 93.219.174.53 (talk) 14:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

No page on Wikipedia needs to exist. However, this is a real topic, and the article contains some useful and interesting information, so I think it's worth keeping. If you don't, articles for deletion is that way. Robofish (talk) 23:50, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps it could be merged with the linguistic article? There's probably not enough in either for a massive article and they do seem to be closely related articles - though the derivation of the term on this page is a bit speculative. Akerbeltz (talk) 01:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

They are clearly separate subjects. I would oppose a merge. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:12, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

How exactly are they "clearly separate subjects"? Akerbeltz (talk) 14:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

*Sigh*, yes, it's a useful page. I came here myself wondering about the etymology of the phrase. --Farry (talk) 10:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Not that useful. The first known reference pre-dates 2 of the suggested origins and It was quite common when I was a kid, which again eliminates those 2 possible options. 94.193.152.82 (talk) 09:00, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
