JET73L: Can anyone confirm or deny? Someone edited out the reply and left the original comment [[OrwellianEditor without]] [[{{Natter}} explanation]], and I don\\\'t want to outright say \\\"No, this is not an example\\\" without confirmation. That was why I added the second line in the first place, since I don\\\'t like just deleting things and thought the WikiMagic of having brought it to the attention of more culturally relevant tropers would be more efficient than [[CallASmeerpARabbitDiscussion bringing it to tribunal]]. I live in a part of Missouri that has a lot of \\\"rural\\\" people and transfer citizens from the American South, and have \\\'\\\'never\\\'\\\' heard of the term \\\"polecat\\\" used for a skunk (and have only seen it in reference to a civet cat in one of those old tall tales illustrated books, where it was [[MisplacedWildlife a civet cat]] the size of a tiger).

* Many people in the U.S. call a skunk a \\\"polecat,\\\" but in other parts of the world, a \\\"polecat\\\" is more likely to refer to other species of weasel (Europe) or a civet cat (Africa, Asia or the East Indies).
** That\\\'s also to what it refers in most of the U.S. This American troper has never heard \\\"polecat\\\" used for skunk, but given the confusing nature of [[CallASmeerpARabbit calling smeerps rabbits]], it\\\'s not out of the question.
