behind the eight-ball

Etymology
Thought to derive from the game of Kelly pool, in which players assigned balls numerically higher than 8 — that is, balls that are behind the 8 ball in order — have little possibility of winning, or from eight-ball pool, where one cannot contact the eight ball on a shot before it is the legal ball, frustrating shots, or more generally, from the fact that the 8 ball is considered harder to aim at because of its color.

Prepositional phrase

 * 1)  In a difficult situation or tight spot; at a disadvantage.
 * After his last two projects failed, he was really behind the eight-ball.
 * He was desperate, playing behind the eight-ball.

Usage notes

 * When modifying a noun, used in predicate position.

Talk:blow

This may be the funniest entry in Wiktionary! Who do you have to blow to get back stage passes?

A meaning missed?
Slightly archaic, blow means to defacate. For example, flyblown. (although this is not supported by http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flyblown, it's my understanding of the term). Also from literature: "The place is full of flies that blow on me" - Mika Waltari, The Egyptian (book 3, a couple of paras into section 4). I've met a couple more instances like this, although it's a rare use these days. Thoughts? 78.145.28.84 01:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

blow
Rfd-redundant: Two senses, transitive and intransitive are specialized to electrical components. I have inserted more general senses intended to include those senses. If they are satisfactorily worded, the RfDed senses are redundant, though the usage example could be kept. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 00:27, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Another sense: to play a musical instrument. Also superseded by a more general sense, IMHO. Also note other additional senses. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 00:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I regrouped the definitions to put related definitions in the proximity of each other. It seems that the senses marked redundant are exactly that. When you delete the senses, please remember to check translation tables. --Hekaheka 11:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

deleted -- Prince Kassad 10:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Added Slang Meaning
Blow, commonly considered to be US slang for cocaine, is also regional to the Midwest, particularly Chicago, to refer to heroin. Crack-Cocaine and heroin are advertised on the streets as "Rocks and Blows," rocks referring to crack-cocaine and blows referring to heroin. The Following are mainly police sources: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-7th-circuit/1400851.html

http://www.nhi.org/online/issues/132/blockclubs.html

http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2012/pr0224_01.pdf

Are these meanings clearly covered?
1. To lose a contest. 2. Of an electrical fuse, to operate. TomS TDotO (talk) 12:34, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

 * 'blow a contest/game' comes under etymology 1 sense 17. I'm not sure if the fuse sense is best placed at sense 11, 14 or 15. The fact that fuses are designed to blow when the evel of electricity gets too high rather than doing so accidentally makes me think that we could perhaps do with another sense. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 08:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

"blow upon" in "Tom Jones"

 * The landlady now began to roar as loudly as the poor woman in bed had done before. She cried, “She was undone, and that the reputation of her house, which was never blown upon before, was utterly destroyed.”
 * The landlady now began to roar as loudly as the poor woman in bed had done before. She cried, “She was undone, and that the reputation of her house, which was never blown upon before, was utterly destroyed.”

Does this need an entry? It seems similar to, but not quite explainable by, the obsolete blow sense: "To spread by report; to publish; to disclose." Equinox ◑ 15:45, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

blow it out one's ass
What meaning is used in blow it out one's ass? --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

RFV discussion: July–August 2020
Rfv-sense: "To talk loudly; to boast; to storm". Appears in BARTLETT'S DICTIONARY OF AMERICANISMS, which is obviously not a quote. --CasiObsoleto (talk) 19:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)--CasiObsoleto (talk) 19:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Easily cited. Frequently found in the phrase "bragging and blowing". Could someone correct the year/work etc. for Mark Twain? I found it in a recent reprint. Equinox ◑ 10:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

The sand blows of Willandra…
“The sand blows of Willandra are composed of materials from all the age layers.” – Australia’s Wilderness Heritage, vol. 1 (1988), p. 77

This is the caption of a picture showing various formations of sand caused by, I assume, wind patterns. I do not believe this sense is covered. Multiple Mooses (talk) 04:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Wrong etymology for 'blow' (blue)?

You're welcome Shashe. You got it right. We all do a little thing that we are good at and then when we look at the result it became this magnificent piece of work. It's not important who happened to have done what. It's only important that the work gets done. We're achieving a whole lot for relatively litlle effort, because we all do it together.

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 Shashe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shashe~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 00:11, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:rewind

illiteral word usage, new word/synonym suggestion
see my user page for background information on this suggestion

basically, you cannot litterally "rewind" a DVD or other digital media source, you can only access data that was displayed previously. I suggest someone find a suitable synonym or new word that suits this need, as digital video and audio is quickly replacing the "wound" sources respectably.

also please contact me through e-mail or through my talk page to udpate me if this suggestion progresses

It is just wrong to suggest that using rewind to mean going back to an earlier point on a DVD as incorrect. This is how language evolves. I'm sure you dial a telephone number on your mobile phone despite there not being a dial on the front with which to dial, but rather buttons. Words gain new meanings over time, e.g. gay. 92.236.229.113 21:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi again John,

Please try to keep conversations on talk pages...the questions you are asking me about are of very common general interest. Every newbie should know the answers to these questions. If they happen to see them show up on Special:Recentchanges then they will get the answer to their questions without even having to ask.

If you'd like a faster response, or think we've forgotten about your message, a short reminder on our respective talk pages often will suffice.  Glad to see that my e-mail got through.  --Connel MacKenzie 15:08, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

DEET
You left a message for me a while back about capitalisation of chemical names. Do you know chemistry? I have entered an acronym for DEET (which I think is important because I think it's Catnip). I respectfully request that you check this for formatting. Cheers, --Stranger, SSL69 14:46, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

>>>

Hi,

You asked me to have a look at DEET. I've made a few changes, mainly the following:

 * 1) It is a noun rather than an acronym, as it doesn't seem to have been shortened from four words beginning with D, E, E and T but rather from just D and T (see the etymology I have provided).
 * 2) I know very little about chemistry. The person to ask is SemperBlotto, who contributes quite a lot of chemistry-related content.
 * 3) A minor correction: "repellent" is the correct spelling.

Otherwise it looked just fine to me. Linking to Wikipedia, where an article exists there too, is always a good idea.

— Paul G 14:13, 12 August 2005 (UTC) >>>

Thanks! But I found your reply confusing - in looking at the history of DEET, I found out why: Semper had already performed his magic on it. I had simply made an initialism; Semper expanded it. So, I can't take credit for his, I'm sure, excellent entry. I'll copy our conversations on his talk page so he'll have the benefit of your correction wisdom. Cheers, -- Stranger, SSL69 14:27, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

mid on and mid off
Yes, you are quite right. I often fail to get that right. You are always welcome to make such corrections to any article when you see it. Cheers. SemperBlotto 07:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC) By the way, I have moved Virtual Private Network to virtual pivate network and given it a link to Wikipedia.

Reverting vandalism - easy way
Way way back in my talk page archives, one of the earlier things I was taught was to revert vandalism the easy way. That is, do "not to try and reconstruct. Just go to the history page, bring up the version before the vandalism, edit that (but do nothing) then submit that version.  It becomes the current version again, overwriting the vandalism!  simple eh!" Since having the sysop flag, it is just a rollback button that does mostly the same thing, only with a nicer comment. Normall the edit comment should just be "rv" for revert.

For images, Image:Blank.png should always be around. I recommend keeping a local, personal copy. --Connel MacKenzie 00:30, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

User talk:--Stranger/tips/refs/transwiki redirects

Jeff,

I recall investigating the transwiki scheme, and being delighted when you not only picked up the slack, but took it on as a personal mission and cleared the list. At the time, we both did minor research into how it is supposed to work. As it was uncharted territory, and no one else seemed to have any solid understanding of it, it seemed like a good idea then to be deleting the pages.

Since that time, there have been a handful of cases where Wikipedians have recreated a link. Simply not deleting the redirects would prevent that nonsense. It also would give Wikipedians an immediate nice warm fuzzy that their protologism-du-jour found a home somewhere. Redirects do not cascade; they will get the redirect page on Wikipedia to the transwiki page - it will say it is a redirect and not autojump at that point. When they follow the link, they (perhaps) will see what the ultimate link should be.

Deleting the redirects takes up more space in the Wiktionary database. (Not much more, of course.) But the idea of not having to move the history pages around is also appealing. The transwiki history (perhaps) can stay in the transwiki section (especially in the case where a recirect target talk page already exists.)

Could you please stop deleting the transwiki pages for a while? Is there further discussion you would like on the topic, say in beer parlour? (The entries will still be there, easy to find if concensus is that they should ultimately be deleted.) --Connel MacKenzie 17:50, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
