Rfv-sense. I don't believe this word is ever used as a verb, in English, to express its allegedly literal meaning of "come by here". —scs 12:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I spent ten minutes looking for this and found nothing (except, of course, for the lyrics of the song, where I suppose it does have that meaning — is it then worth keeping as a "famous nonce"?). "Kumbaya, snow / bring me snow" looked promising in a Gudding poem, but on closer inspection the writer seems to be addressing a creature who could bring various things. (Blimey, Steve Summit.

I always wondered how to spell this.
