    • 1851, Thomas Campbell, Samuel Carter Hall, Edward Bulwer Lytton, The New Monthly Magazine - Volume 92, page 446:
      Accordingly, when an application was made for the first quarter's rent, Mr. Cincinnatus W. Sloaker coolly returned for answer, that " he knew of no obligation no-how to justificate him to part with a cent's worth of scrapins until the correct balance of time was figured up;" and, therefore, all that Mr. Poppyhead took by his motion was the conviction that — to continue the phraseology of Mr. Sloaker — he was "drawn out cold," which, being interpreted, means that he was "done" in every kind of way.
    • 1993, Carlos E. Myreböe, A Study of Two Export Processes of Eucalyptuswood from Uruguay:
      These arguments are used to justificate the preference for the road transport.
    • 2012, Piero Giordanetti, Riccardo Pozzo, Marco Sgarbi, Kant's Philosophy of the Unconscious, →ISBN, page 86:
