I found

Jeepers Creepers is a 20th-century euphemism for "Jesus Christ", and a colloquial U.S. interjection used as a mild swearing expressing surprise.<!--AS OF JUNE 2007, WE HAVE NO WIKTIONARY ENTRY FOR "Jeepers Creepers", SO WE GIVE READERS A DECENT DICDEF HERE FOR NOW -->

but dictdefs per se are never suitable on Dab pages. The closest we come to a dict def is when there is a primary topic (pretty doubtful in this case) and an article (hard to imagine that there ever will be), and then what is needed is a sub-dict def phrase: just enough that the rare user who got to the page other than from the HatNote on the primary topic's page (say via Random page, or What links here) will have the chance to understand what the primary topic is, and consider whether that is the meaning they had in mind. In the case of the accompanying Dab page, and assuming (oddly) that the expression per se would be the primary topic (making the Dab Jeepers Creepers (disambiguation), not Jeepers Creepers) then the Dab page would begin with its only sentence:

Jeepers Creepers is the exclamation.

If i had thot an article on that sense had any decent chance of passing AfD, i'd have created Jeepers Creepers (exclamation) as a stub with that text (to give it a chance to prove itself, and perhaps become a contender for a rename to the Primary-topic title), but it's now a total-dump-job stub at Wikt.

Removed RedLink'd entries

[edit]

Each entry among the following should, when an article is written for it, be copied to the accompanying Dab page, and the copy struck thru.
