Talk:shell

I don't want to go into changing this without further ado, but are the following not all essentially the same:

 * 1) A hard outside covering, as of a fruit, nut, or animal.
 * 2) A pod.
 * 3) The hard covering of an egg.
 * 4) The hard calcareous or chitinous external covering of mollusks, crustaceans, and some other invertebrates. In some mollusks, as the cuttlefishes, it is internal, or concealed by the mantle. Also, the hard covering of some vertebrates, as the armadillo, the tortoise, and the like.

Is this the following not also the same? You either have an empty shell, in the same sense as all the above, or a live clam, mussel, oyster, etc.

 * 1) Hence, by extension, any mollusks having such a covering.

So all the above could without loss be subsumed in:
 * 1) A hard outside covering, as of some fruits, nuts, eggs, and terrestrial and marine animals.

Perhaps "pod" is different, but is this an example of a shell?

Possible missing noun senses
Chambers 1908 has "the outer ear" (I know we've got a slang ear sense, "a word in your shell", but I wonder if this is something more anatomical), and "an intermediate class in some schools" — no clue — archaic educational system? Equinox ◑ 20:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:truth

In a dictionary, the order of terms is meant to dictate the most strict to the most lineate. In this case, we are speaking of a world-wide usage. I have reordered them so that they rule in strength from logically exact to societally accepted. I changed archaic definition, check history.

RFV discussion: August–September 2018
Rfv-sense: verb: "To make exact; to correct for inaccuracy."
 * ground truth

I didn't find this in dictionaries available to me and couldn't make sense of the usage example. DCDuring (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * cited Kiwima (talk) 00:43, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

RFV-passed Kiwima (talk) 21:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I still couldn't parse the usex and so removed it. Context for cited sense seems technical. I'll try to figure out the label for it. DCDuring (talk) 03:12, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Can someone please verify why in the 3rd definition of the verb form, it uses the word "truth" in the definition of the word "truth"?

confetti

Etymology
Borrowed (possibly via French) from, used to describe sugar-coated almonds, and by extension things imitating them (like pellets of plaster), which were thrown in Italy during festivities like Carnival and weddings. (This practice is mentioned in English since at least the 1810s. ) The French and the English adopted the practice of celebrating weddings and other festivities by throwing such candies, or (by the late 1800s) tiny pieces of colored paper symbolizing them,  partially displacing their earlier practice of throwing rice.

Noun

 * 1) Small pieces or strips (streamers) of colored paper or other material (metal, plaster, etc) generally thrown about at festive occasions, especially at weddings and in victory celebrations.
 * 2)  Edible Italian sugar-coated almonds, especially those which are used as part of a traditional Italian wedding.
 * 3) * 1870, Henry T. Tuckerman, in the Boston Transcript, quoted in The New York Observer Yearbook and Almanac, page 143:
 * [...] a pale and fair devotee of fashion who has left off eating confetti, and recovered her bloom.
 * 1) * 1975, Garibaldi Marto Lapolla, The grand Gennaro, Ayer Co. Pub.:
 * Emilio and Roberto had pooled their resources in money and had arranged with the cafe keeper for steaming thick chocolate, a slow-pouring syrup-like drink, the richest boccotoni, cream-filled heavy sfogliate, and almond confetti.
 * Emilio and Roberto had pooled their resources in money and had arranged with the cafe keeper for steaming thick chocolate, a slow-pouring syrup-like drink, the richest boccotoni, cream-filled heavy sfogliate, and almond confetti.

Usage notes

 * Very rarely, a single piece of confetti may be called a, as in Italian.

One possible etymology, besides onomatopoeia, is glom, which could be used to describe a similar action

Etymology
Isn't it sort of imitative, like the sound of knocking the breath out of someone with a running tackle? Compare whomp, thump. Equinox ◑ 19:16, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The most common etymological attribution I can find (mostly from TVTropes) is that this first appeared in the anime Ranma 1/2, to describe the sound of someone embracing another. 72.185.190.214

glomp together
There seems to be a missing sense of the word "glomp" in this entry, specifically the one that turns up on Google when quote-searching the phrase "glomp(ed/s/ing) together". This usage appears to be fairly well attested in legitimate sources throughout academia (e.g. textbooks, academic papers, scientific journals), though it's entirely possible these occurrences are better analzyed as nonce uses of the word, whereby it'd be serving as a sort of semantic confluence of "glom", "clump", "glue", "cluster", "group", etc. for when an author is trying to convey some certain nuance in meaning/connotation only achievable by "glomp". In any case, what are people's thoughts on the matter? Should this sense be added to the entry?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tonners62. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tonners62~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

2nd def - what does it mean?
'Metaphorically so called'. How does it difer from the first definition, provided it's meant to be an adjective? (Both the translations for this sense say 'Adverb' on their pages.)

I am pleased...
that wiktionary has not assigned 'figural' (meaning an artistic representation of a human figure) as a synonym for figurative. Many educated art lovers use it this way, and it is wrong. "His art has improved a lot since he took life drawing classes." "Really? I thought he was already good at figurative art." Retch.

It would be nice to see a less POV rendition of this. At the moment, I've having difficulty thinking of a workable watering-down though. --Connel MacKenzie 01:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * It's a tough one. But the nature of the subject is not so much POV as the facts of the case. As you know, Connel, whatever happens to that word now is up to the other players. I hope it retains its true meaning, which is very disturbing. --HiFlyer 02:16, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There are a number of other meanings not covered here as well. It mentions a rendition of music, but one can also speak of renditions of other works of art: for example, there are usually many written renditions of stories that originate in oral traditions. The "handing over" meaning is also fairly old and not specifically restricted to persons. That's the most common modern meaning, but in historical contexts one can also speak of a fortress's rendition being part of terms of surrender. --63.249.108.162 17:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Real word
This word was first used by Douglas Adams in 1978. It has a reasonable airing in real life (but don't let that put you off) and we should keep it. I will edit the citation though.

It is not a protologism. It is old enough to go out and buy a beer. — Dizzley 07:36, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * PeterHitchmough, um, OK. I think I had it marked protologism due to the definition at protologism, without any clear indication of what implications come from such tagging (as it is still in debate.)  I had formatted the page to match Entry layout explained, but didn't (and still don't) have the direct attribution for the quote I reformatted (that came through from Transwiki.)  I suppose one of us could look it up at http://h2g2.com/ or somewhere else...  I know *I* have used the word on occasion, but I don't think anyone who hasn't seen HHGttG would have the faintest idea what we were talking about.  --Connel MacKenzie 07:53, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

How sad it is that you limited the potential understanding to people who have "seen" HHGttG. I would suggest that the number who have READ the materials is far larger, and then you can add in all the people they've taught the word through usage who may have never read it. I couldn't begin to count that number just for me. --Shamgar 13:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention those who listened to the original radio show. I myself have read the books, listened to all five phases of the radio show, and watched the only season of the TV show. I despise people who say they they've seen the movie. --DentArthurDent 20:24, May 4th 2009 (UTC)

Why would someone delete this article?

Nobody found evidence of real-world usage meeting WT:CFI. Equinox ◑ 16:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

hoopy
"Really together guy" (Douglas Adams' original definition) is not a suitable dictionary definition. If it is used other than by its author in the mouths of fictional characters, what does it mean? Citations? Equinox ◑ 10:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Deleted. Equinox ◑ 01:20, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

frood
Almost certainly not used outside the context of the books. Maybe these should be moved to an H2G2 appendix? --Yair rand 22:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
