PROD reasoning[edit]

I would question the current reasoning for a PROD in that it is not difficult to find ghits, particularly if the search for "skalk" is paired with "Johnson" and/or "whisky". This article on the Scotch Malt Whisky Society site discusses the term authoritatively. It is clearly not a neoligism, particularly if Johnson remarked on it in the 1770s. Is it more than a dictionary entry though? Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did try to verify if that quote was legitimate, but I couldn't find it immediately. I was in error. --Nick Penguin_(contribs) 02:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
