message: It seems that this McArticle is a McMagnet for McNeologisms.  Is there some sort of McThreshold for inclusion?  Joyous | Talk 17:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think having a link to a valid and existing article should be a reasonable threshold.  This will at least get rid of all the Mc(place where somebody died) links at the bottom.  "normal usage" is another reasonable requirement, I have heard of "McProm" but never McPeanutButter. --TexasDex 18:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: McDrive?

message: The reason why these words are invented should be more thoroughly explained. What I'm asking here is what makes something a "McSomething". Is it because of the whole "pre-packaging" and "franchising" of a concept? Please explain a little more.
*Wikipedia discourages lists and articles of newly coined words.  See this page for more information.  Joyous! | Talk 14:05, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition 

message: The section does not include all names of the type McSomething. Only those where the Something is somehow related to the thing named so that the end result looks like a McWord -style derogatory term. For example Master is an academic degree, thus related to universities. Guff is nonsense, thus related to a narrative device without a real function.Punainen Nörtti 16:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think the nicknames McDreamy and McStreamy were created to "refer to McDonald's and its associated cultural effects" (and there's no reference saying they do) so I'm removing them.--Nonpareility 19:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: I feel like the singular is more consistent with wikipedia naming conventions. Does anyone disagree? Will it break anything to change it? (I imagine I'd have to just copy the whole page over to McWord, and set up a redirect here. Is that correct?)
