hair of the dog

Etymology
, a folk remedy for rabies by placing hair from the dog that bites one into the wound. The use of the phrase as a metaphor for a hangover treatment dates at least to the 16th century.

The principle of “curing like with like” has existed in various cultures historically; see hair of the dog at Wikipedia for details; the use of the phrase “hair of the dog” for a hangover cure dates to antiquity, an early form being found in the Ugaritic text KTU 1.1114 line 29, where the chief god of the pantheon, 'i/el, takes some for his health. The usage is in turn a borrowing from Akkadian.

Noun

 * 1)  An alcoholic drink, particularly when taken the morning after to cure a hangover.

Talk:treehouse

3m is quite high, I'm sure there are many that are not that high ;) 20.133.0.14 08:44, 13 May 2005

I think it is more important to discribe what a thing should be like than what people are making out of it. Otherwise we would loose all kinds of values and assets because people corrupt things.

Just think about religion !!

In consideration of the purpose and advantages of a treehouse it would not make any sense building one less than 3m high. I`m a treehouse-architect and not even interestet in anything less than 20m !

Treehouses can be 50m, 70m high

Eucalyptus trees reach 140m...

 * This is a dictionary. It doesn't describe what "should be".  It describes what people mean when they use a word. Uncle G 11:58, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

You have not understood what I wrote above.

 * If you are trying to be humorous, then you are correct: we didn't get your joke.
 * If you are not trying to be humorous, then what you say is poorly articulated. Are you suggesting there are houses in trees, where people have their primary residence?  Where would that be?  Here, (US) a treehouse is a child's play area.  It would unsafe to build one higher then 3m for young children...most I've seen have been at about 2m off the ground.  Are you perhaps trying to describe a bird's nest?  --Connel MacKenzie 12:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

a treehouse should be a house in a tree. If somebody builds a small cabin for his children without any installations that a regular house has so you can live in it it`s not a treehouse. It is very sad that most old-growth forest and trees are logged down worldwide and people can`t imagine what a real treehouse is. I`m reluctant to give up that reality though, just for little childrens playhouses.

I know many people dream of living in a real treehouse, without having a complete picture of how that can look like. I`m trying to be a treehouse-achitect and I want to shape the image of treehouses correctly.

regards

 * Besides the definition, you have failed to cite any sources that actually drop the hyphen in the word "tree-house." I see no evidence that the compound word "treehouse" is commonly used anywhere in written English.  I recommend that this unhyphenated form of the existing entry should be deleted from Wiktionary.org as long its citations page continues to lack significant sources.  --Velpaedia Jenkuklordanus 02:45, Friday, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

chew the fat

Etymology
One of the possible origins is from the fact that after a meal people would go into their sitting room with their guests and chit chat while chewing on the fat left over from a meal.

Another possibility comes from sailors who often had salted beef and pork on long voyages and the fat would harden. Sailors would eat and complain about the hard life of the sea while "chewing the fat"

Probably just from comparison of the jaw movements in chewing to the jaw movements in talking.

Verb

 * 1)  To chat idly or generally waste time talking.

Etymology
The correct spelling for kaput, in the Yiddish alphabet, is needed in the Etymology section. Bennmorland 02:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

The word seems in fact to come from the French 'capot'.
 * More likely, they all come originally from Latin caput. --EncycloPetey 06:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I've changed it to reflect the etymology from https://www.thefreedictionary.com/kaput and https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kaput and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piquet#Capot. I found no reference to it coming from Yiddish---unless someone can show that the English word came via French > German > Yiddish > English, I believe it should be assumed the German word was loaned by both the Yiddish and English languages. Richard n (talk) 07:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Yiddish in Etymology
Almost 9 years later, the etymology still lists Yiddish as the derivation. Every source I checked claims French 'capot' is the derivation, as commenter at IP address 82.127.20.40 wrote above.

Barring your objections and my laziness, I will change the etymology to reflect 'capot' as the derivation.

Charletan (talk) 19:24, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The current etymology says nothing about Yiddish being the derivation, it says it came from German via Yiddish- which is probably true. Of course, German got it from French, so you should add that part- but there's no need to remove anything. Chuck Entz (talk) 08:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

 * > it came from German via Yiddish- which is probably true
 * Is it? Do you have a source for that probability?

 * > Of course, German got it from French
 * How can German get it from French yet via Yiddish?

 * Charletan (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * English got it from Yiddish, which got it from German, which got it from French. Clear now?
 * If you don't know what via means, just look it up. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 07:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

 * English 1895 (< Yiddish??) < German kaputt machen (sense reversal) < French faire capot. I put Yiddish in parentheses because I question whether it is factual. It's possible, but I'm not sure of it. —Stephen (Talk) 09:26, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Fair (compare Etymonline), but it's quite plausible that it was at least influenced or reinforced by Yiddish, in view of the spelling and the (I think) greater popularity in US English (mutual reinforcement of Yiddishisms and Germanisms does not seem to be unheard of). I suspect that the via is used because of this uncertainty. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 00:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:mother-in-law

This is perhaps a pedantic point, but pedantry in the name of accuracy is surely appropriate in a dictionary?

I had changed the definition to: (a) "A person's mother-in-law is his or her spouse's mother"

As of 14 May 2005 it has been changed to: (b) "one's spouse's mother"

While the meaning seems clear (perhaps because anyone who reads it knows the meaning already), this is not strictly correct if I am talking about someone else's MIL. I'm pretty sure I've seen this usage in other dictionaries, but that doesn't make it correct.

The only family that I can think of that most people will know is the cartoon Simpson family; Granpa is Homer's father; Marge is Homer's wife. So Granpa is Marge's father-in-law. But if, while talking about them, I speak about one's father-in-law, that would be taken to mean my FIL.

This explanation is probably not very clear, but perhaps others will either clarify it,or show it to be false.

_I_ am not going to start a changes war by changing the article. But if others agree, perhaps someone would care to correct the definition of this and similar words.

Is there also a pronunciation like /ˈdvɔː(r)ʒɑːk/? That would work for the Czech composer spelled "Dvořák" but maybe the name of the keyboard is further anglicized/americanized... — Hippietrail 04:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:yours truly

This is not an "adjectival phrase". An adjectival phrase as an adjective which consists of multiple words, or a phrase which does the job of an adjective. And an adjective is a word used to describe another word, which must be a noun (or noun phrase).

It's not possible to say "This one is very yours truly", or "a long, yours truly, red thingummy", etc. — Hippietrail 06:34, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hippietrail, Muke and I were just discussing this in IRC. We have so far concluded that we don't really know.  Do you have a better suggestion? --Dvortygirl 06:39, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * If it is the same as the British yours sincerely or yours faithfully, then it is an adverb - shortened from older phrases such as "I remain, your faithful servant, Joe Bloggs" SemperBlotto 07:29, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I was actually thinking about this in the past few days before you added it too. Along with some other similar-ish things that escape me right now.
 * I think the phrase used for signing letters is no part of speech at all, it's a sentence fragment used just for that purpose. Can you think of any examples in spoken English (other than reading a letter aloud)? I'd be interested in how it's labelled in print dictionaries. I wouldn't be surprised if it's only in bilingual dictionaries though, which is enough to warrant it here of course.
 * Perhaps it's more interesting to investigate the special sense of "yours" used in this phrase and many other variations. Yours lovingly, Hippietrail 10:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this phrase is not ever an adverbial phrase, or any other kind of adverb. The use of "unfortunately in the previous sentence was an adverb, but you can see that substituting "yours truly" does not make a grammatical sentence. Most commonly, adverbs are used to qualify verbs or adjectives: "She runs quickly", "It was very big". — Hippietrail 10:05, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Some research from the library

 * The 20 volume Oxford English Dictionary has no separate entry for these phrases, but under the personal pronoun yours has - "used as a predicate in the subscription of a letter qualified by an adverb or adverbal phrase"
 * The 3 volume Webster has an entry for Yours truly in the I,Me,Myself sense, and under the pronoun yours has - "often used with an adverbal modifier in the complimentary close of a letter to express the polite fiction that the sender puts himself at the receiver's disposal"
 * Fowler's Modern English Usage (3rd edition) has an article on Letter Forms that describes the change from formality to informality, and confirms that, in business leters, yours faithfully is used with Dear Sir, and yours sincerely is used with Dear Mr Smith. It also says that in private correspondence, Americans tend to reverse the order, or write simply "sincerely" etc. SemperBlotto 11:08, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

End of a letter
When you use "yours truly" at the end of a letter it isn't for "informal correspondance" as far as I'm aware, I was taught that it is reserved only for the end of love letters. 92.2.201.254 17:37, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
