The sense of an object indicating someone’s turn then occurred in American English, possibly originating from the game poker, where a knife (typically with a hilt made from a stag horn) was used as a place-marker to signify whose turn it was to deal. The place-marker was commonly referred to as a buck, which reinforced the term “pass the buck” used in poker, and eventually a silver dollar was used in place of a knife, which also led to a dollar being referred to as a buck.

Talk:poke

Regarding the noun definition, I don't think it's archaic (yet), but it may be regional. According to dictionary.com it's most common in Southern US, and is also used in Scotland. I've seen it used in Western stories (a poke of gold). Ortonmc 18:30, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Looks like the poke (as a verb) 2nd definition is wrong (either it needs ',' or ':', or you are using poke inside the definition)

--88.22.44.251 01:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

poke
Redundant sense. Was it entered only because of the derived term poker (a fireplace poker)? While it obviously isn't a separate sense now, it is unclear if it ever was. If so, that belongs in the Etymology, not entered as a redundant definition. Right? --Connel MacKenzie 04:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Not the root sense, and not meaningfully distinct; ergo, remove. (this does turn up in Webster's New World, probably others as well; but not in any way that suggests a meaningfully independent sense.)-- Visviva 13:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd keep. I don't use a pointed stick or finger to stir up our fire. I use a riddle stick which is not pointed. Translations and synonyms will be different.--Dmol 17:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Ordering of etyms
Reply to Mglovesfun's edit summary: " 11:56, 26 February 2010 Mglovesfun (Talk | contribs) (4,461 bytes) (let's have the most modern meaning first) "

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in some Wiktionary guideline that's it's sort of a policy to order defs chronologically by etymology. I think that's the most sensible way to do it.

I just accidentally made a bit of a mess of the entry due to the weird non-chronological ordering as well as different etymologies being combined. Sorry about that, I'm about to fix that now, but the only way that looks sensible & helpful to me is chronological ordering.--TyrS 01:49, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Another sexual verb sense? South Africa
We have poke as slang for penetrating sexually ("he poked her"), but I saw a recent South African tabloid news article where a woman was described as poking a man — so can it be a general S.Afr. term for having sex, even if not doing the penetration? :

 * "They poked for over an hour. When I went inside they couldn't even pick up the condoms. You sneak into her house and poke with her man when she's in church. She's a wife. You know very well that she's married, but you poke with her man "

Equinox ◑ 09:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * In Special:Diff/64188956/64189043 I removed an example (“If she smokes, she pokes”), it doesn't make sense with the current definition. – Jberkel 19:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The removed phrase used to be fairly well known in the USA. It may be a stretch of the ordinary meaning to come up with a rhyme.  Like I've heard slut applied to a straight man. I felt the speaker was stretching the definition, but her meaning was understood.  I'll add it back as a quotation.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 20:26, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:foo

Programming sense
Really should point at the New Hacker's Dictionary, if possible

I dithered over noun or pronoun, but a name that's used to stand for some unspecified entity sure sounds an awful lot like a pronoun. About the only difference is that one may introduce Foo et. al. specifically:

 * Suppose we have two structures, Foo and Bar. Foo points at Bar and Bar points at Foo.

but not

 * *Suppose we have two people, he and she . . .

Foo and Bar also do not inflect (Foo points at Bar as opposed to He points at her.). But new forms are invariably regular, and names in general do not inflect in English.

Arguments that Foo is not a noun:

It doesn't take an article

 * *The Foo points to the Bar.

It doesn't sit well with adjectives

 * ?The big Foo points to the little Bar.

Both of these usages will work, however, if Foo is referring to a type or other class:

 * Function Frobozz takes two arguments of some type Foo. It sorts them by size, then it uses the big Foo as an key into a hash table to another Foo.  The Foo that comes back is then . . .

So perhaps Foo can be used as a normal noun. But its principal usage is much more pronoun-like, as given above.

In short, Foo doesn't behave quite like a noun, or a proper name or a pronoun. The hacker's dictionary calls it a "Metasyntactic Variable," but it's not clear which part of speech that might correspond to.

 * Ah, the deep questions of life :) It can't be a normal noun because it can't be counted either as count (*a foo, *the foo) or mass (?some foo).  As it does stand for a variable, it is particularly pronoun-like, but since it is the name of a variable, if pressed I would actually call it a proper noun (albeit an atypical one, as in ordinary variable nomenclature it is not capitalized).  The parallel sentence to "Suppose we have two variables, foo and bar" is "Suppose we have two people, Alice and Beth". (For a better example; "Fido" is to dogs as "foo" is to variables:  a standard name.)  —Muke Tever 19:04, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * I agree, to me it seems similar to using "John Doe" or "Fred Bloggs" to refer to a person whose real name is unknown. Ortonmc 19:08, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Again, when the referent is a type, class or other such, all the countable noun tests appear to work (Function frobozz takes a Foo and a Bar and returns a neutral representation of their common parts, where the capitilization is conventional in referring to Java classes -- Muke is quite right that they're normally or at least often uncapitalized). Even then, I'd tend to agree that "Proper Noun" is the right choice.  One can also say "a John Doe," but for slightly different reasons. -dmh 19:21, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

style
"in a Mr. T accent" - that's just wrong...
 * Seconded. "Foo'" crops up in a myriad other circumstances, not just during a Mr.T impersonation! —JakeybeanTALK 01:03, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Redirection
Shouldn't foo' redirect here?

Foo Fighter not derived?
Foo Fighter is listed as derived but its page says it's a corruption of a French word. That would make it a different sense or something, but not "derived".

"fannish ghod"
Etymology 2 contains the sentence "Used by Jack Speer as the fannish ghod of mimeography." This reads to someone not an expert in 1940s science fiction fandom as complete gibberish even given the definitions of the linked terms. If I am understanding this correctly, a science fiction fandom historian created or named a fictional diety named "foo" who has authority over early copying machines? This sentence should have a less jargon-y explanation to fully convince the average reader that this is not a hoax that was vandalised in. 69.42.3.121 03:53, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * It is common to use the plural form worms to refer to intestinal or other internal parasites.

Reading about the Phoenix Mars mission, I get the impression that the word sol is bsing used to mean a day but on another planet. E.g. Over the last couple of sols, the Phoenix team made its first test scoop and dig into the Martian surface. Can anyone confirm this? Is it current use, or prologism? -- Algrif 11:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

etymology of sol
According to recent additions to the etymology of Latin, it is cognate with Old English and Old Norse sol. But doesn't Old English have as the native term for the "sun"? I have always understood that sol in Old English and Old Norse was borrowed from Latin, like so many other words. --EncycloPetey 01:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Old Norse sunna is a sideform til (lateral form to), which methinks is similar to cognate and sunna and sól (most likely 𐍃𐌰𐌿𐌹𐌻 and 𐍃𐌿𐌽𐌽𐍉 too) have a common predecesser, but do not descend from one another. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 09:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Intriguing, though considering that loss of laryngeal by far pre-dated vocalisation of syllabic resonants in Latin's history wouldn't that give **sūl? No matter how unusual that *e looks, it seems like Sihler's *súh₂el (> Lat. *sŭŏl > sōl) works better also for explaining the PII form. Catonif (talk) 15:06, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right. I go through this crisis every 2 years it seems. PIE seems more likely then for the Latin and works fine for the PII as well. --  17:05, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I updated the etymology and ran with Sihler's work, where he also cites an s-stem to account for the gender change, which makes the most sense. -- 05:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Neat, but the PIt. outcome can't be *swōl, but rather *sūōl ~ *sūeles (or *suōl ~ *sueles, depending on when you date the shortening, on project we date it as post-PIt.) > (Pre-)Lat. *sŭōl ~ *sŭŏlis, which we can see going to sōl ~ sōlis by Sihler's contraction and likely by yet more levelling. I must admit I'm somewhat confused by the refs you kept, should we remove de Vaan's ref since he claims something quite different? (i.e. *séh₂ul > regularly *saul > sporadically sōl. Ideally we should probably mention this theory as well). Also, could you change the Sihler ref to link to the page and section where he provides this explaination (the "s-stem" and gender change, that is)? I can't find it, the index only mentions §88.3c and §294.2 for sol. Catonif (talk) 11:21, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * See the footer on page 84. *uHV- > *(u)wV- is the expected outcome in PIE languages with the loss of laryngeals, so the PIt. would regularly be either or . --  20:49, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Dlugosz, welcome to Wiktionary. I answered some of your questions on the Talk:spirit, Talk:sol and Talk:Latino pages. If you have other problems or questions about how Wiktionary works, you can also ask in the beer_parlor. Ortonmc 23:41, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

H, Długosz. Can you justify that your latest additions are not copyright violations?

Here an example:

alarm vs http://www.thesaurus-dictionary.com/files/a/l/a/alarm.html

Delta G 02:27, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * The "Webster 1913" material is public domain, and mentioned several times in the intro material for this forum that it may be used. That site apparantly used the same source for that entry.  I'm sure a lot of free dictionaries do.  But I only copy from the original material, not from a site like dictionary.com that mixes results from many sources or the one you mention which does not cite a source at all.

 * I suggest you systematically specify the source in the comment whenever you do this. I think it is useful information. Delta G 18:31, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * OK, I'll add "material copied from from Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)" in a comment to each page. Długosz

 * Thanks for the question. In the very earliest days of Wiktionary somebody used a bot to create pages for the Wiktionary from the 1913 Webster, and created some 700 pages of material.  I gradually worked to adapt those, but that was a tedious process.  I was almost finished when I became distracted, went on to do other things leaving maybe 30 pages undone.

 * What you describe doesn't really seem like a bot, since the automated part of the work is all done on the clipboard in your computer. The other thing that I would do would be to take whole pages from the 1913 Webster (70 words more or less), and put them into MS Word where I would use the search and replace functions to make adaptations (being careful not to put in quotes and apostrophes because of the idiosyncratic way that MS has of dealing with these).  I would then copy the whole page into Wiktionary, with the intent of making further adaptions as these pages were being split up.  This also served as a way of keeping track what has been done and what remains to be done.

 * I was using the University of Chicago ARTFL version of the Webster. This does not imply that that version is any better or worse than any other.  (They have quite a few places where the pagination go screwed up.)  Using one version consistently just made tracking easier.  Many of these pages that I set up should still be there working for someone to carry on with the work.  From your perspective would having whole pages make your work easier?  I could get back to rolling over these pages with only the minimal change needed to isolate the words, and if your technique works better from there, then so much the better.

 * I view the 1913 Webster material as nothing more than a convenient starting point for establishing baseline. I do adapt as I go along, and make an effort to identify the place where every Shakespeare quote appears in one of his plays.  I thought of also tacking down the quotes of other authors, but after very few words soon realized that this was just too much work for one person.  Whatever modifications we make to the Webster corpus will be what makes Wiktionary stand above the others.  Far too many of those that are there now are based on mindless OCR scans.  Most of our value added needs to wait until we have a solid base to work from.  Eclecticology 08:58, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It is good to have more than one source in order to resolve differences in formatting and presentations. My primary one has been the ARTFL version at: http://humanities.uchicago.edu/orgs/ARTFL/forms_unrest/webster.form.html The one that I have been using as a backup has been the Bootleg version at http://www.bootlegbooks.com/Reference/Webster/Default.htm  Both will allow whole page views. On ARTFL this is a simple matter of calling up the numerical links on the page for a word. None of the online versions handle the legends well. Unless you have an original hard-copy version you pretty well have to guess at these, but that gets easier as you develop the experience.

Sticking to ASCII is very limiting. The ISO 8859-1 characters can be used by simply typing "Alt" + the relevant number. Thus Alt + 0233 will give é. Please note that the number is typed with the leading zero. Most of the other codes that you will need fall within the Latin Extended-A range of Unicode. These can be produced by using the relevant numerical codes with "&" + "#" + number + ";". The number 257 produces ā. This and the other vowels with macrons are the most common ones found in Webster.

Please don't remove the Shakespeare quotes, or even the ones from Chaucer. They are a part of the historical record of the language. Adding new quotes is to be encouraged, but they should not "replace" the old ones. Just how much you need to quote will remain an open question. The extracts from Conan Doyle are a great idea, but some are already a century old. For more recent material we need to pay attention to copyright and fair use issues. Eclecticology 18:19, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * for a small dotted a the hex code is 0227 or decimal 550 should have worked but I guess it's just missing from my machine, so I used the alternative of "a" plus hex 307 = decimal 775 : ȧ;
 * for the other its hex code 02A4 or decimal 676: ʤ
 * The 775 allows a dot to be put on any letter as in ċ or p&#775. The Unicode hex range 0300 to 0362 has a number of interesting combining diacritical marks that can be added to any letter. z̿

 * Doyle is British. Perhaps a literary American writer from the same period would be a good idea.  (Mark Twain could be interesting.)  I'll need to give it some thought.  There are other possibilities.  Illustrating dictionary entries with quotes from contemporary authors is certainly a fair use, though a full concordance might not be acceptable. Eclecticology 21:16, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Since we have succeeded in misunderstanding ourselves perhaps you could give me a specific citation where this ".a" appears. I didn't find it right away in the ARTFL page that I looked at.

As for the U + 0227, the book that I have is for Unicode 3.0, and I can see now that 30 characters were added to the block at that time. Eclecticology 00:08, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Santana wind
Where did you find the etymology for Santana wind? There seem to be some errors...you wrote that it might be from "vientos de Sanatanas" (“Satan's winds”). Sanatanas does not mean Satan or anything else. Did you intend to write "vientos de Satanás"? Satanás means Satan. If so, I still don’t see how Satanás could have evolved into Santana. Santana is a common Spanish name that is an alternative spelling of Santa Ana (Saint Anne). Santana and Santa Ana are pronounced identically in Spanish. For the moment, I am commenting out that part of the etymology. Please have a look and check your source. —Stephen (Talk) 09:04, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * In Portugal and some parts of Brazil, você represents an intermediate degree of formality between (familiar) and  (very formal). It should be used in situations of little intimacy, but almost always omitted, otherwise it might be taken as being offensive or demeaning. There is no perfect analog in Portuguese to the Spanish, whose role is filled by o senhor in Brazil and o senhor and você in Portugal.
 * In most parts of Brazil (especially in the Southeast, with the exception of some cities), você has replaced as the informal second person singular pronoun, and  is relegated to archaic, poetic and religious usages, much like the English . In Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Brasília and most Northeastern States,  is used in very informal situations, though it usually uses the third-person singular conjugation of verbs, similar to many Spanish-speaking countries with.
 * ,, and to a lesser extent and , are widely used alongside você in Brazilian dialects that don’t use tu.
 * Its plural form,, is rarely used in general Portuguese and is now mostly confined to some of the northernmost rural dialects of European Portuguese and poetry.
 * Você and, despite being 2nd-person pronouns, always take 3rd-person verbs.

Talk:optics

I'm restoring the original wording, but it's obviously easily misread.

The sense I meant was

"The aspects ... which deal with light"

as opposed to

" ... device which deals with light"

Better wordings are welcome.

Actually, I think I have one.

Optics in politics
Why was the edit regarding optics in a political context reverted? While it's not a totally common term, googling "bad optics" or "poor optics" will demonstrate that it is used in that context. --209.222.52.194 13:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I recently came across it too, in this 2011 blog post . Quoting in case the page vanishes: Equinox ◑ 00:49, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Rita wrote: “Recently, I have been bumping into a strange use of the word optics on news broadcasts. It showed up when Americans were filmed dancing in the streets after they heard of the death of Osama bin Laden. One commentator remarked that he didn’t like the optics. Another use came up on Memorial Day, when a panoramic sweep of thousands of American flags in Arlington National Cemetery prompted another commentator to describe the scene as ‘powerful optics’. What’s going on?”

Jargon is going on. Optics originally referred to the branch of physics that deals with the properties and phenomena of light, thus being inextricably bound to sight. It is now being used as a political buzzword for public perception, whether constituents view an action as acceptable or unacceptable. Appearance trumps analysis.

Ben Zimmer, who now does the On Language column for the New York Times, thinks that it was originally a Canadian term indebted to the French optique, which means perception or point of view, in addition to the science of optics.

In a column that Zimmer wrote on March 7, 2010, he cited a Wall Street Journal article from May 31, 1978, that contained a quote by Robert Strauss (who served under President Jimmy Carter). Hinting that business leaders who went along with the administration’s anti-inflation program might be invited to the White House, he said, It would be a nice optical step.
