The alternative forms seem rather silly: some are not attestable and some are long jokes rather than short dictionary phrases. Also there's a guy who keeps coming and adding them when they are removed. Equinox 16:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Too many: remove all red not-very-common ones IMO. This is an example, though, of why alternative forms should be beneath definitions.​—msh210 (talk) 17:01, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've removed them all. They can always be put back as needed. That aside, I wonder about the definition ("Said to express confusion"). I thought this was used the same way as I see (i.e. to express understanding), and to express confusion only when used euphemistically (or sarcastically perhaps). Anyone know?​—msh210 (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
