Nobody knows what it means.
Why don't you mention if you mean ignore the disk copy, or ignore the

One puts the cursor on just the city, and types d, and sees

And ends up deleting the whole address, not just the city. And there's
no undo. So the message should be reworded.
Also very funny about the Country always defaulting to "Emacs".

This should be worded more clearly:

Idea: add a command to duplicate a record, bbdb-clone-record, or
whatever, handy say if we want to add someone to the database whose
details are almost the same as somebody else already in the
database. So we just clone the record and then make minor changes to
the new copy.
