whistle-stop train tour
This is not idiomatic as defined. There is significant usage of whistle stop tour, which might be idiomatic. There are a few words that can take the place of "train", such as "campaign" and "railroad", "bus", and even "plane". The essence of the idiom (if it is one) is that it is a kind of "campaign tour" in US politics. Nearly as common as "whistle-stop tour" is whistle-stop campaign. "Whistle stop tour" might be idiomatic because it is sometimes used as a metalepsis, referring to any tour that involves going to many minor destinations for mostly symbolic purposes, as by a newly appointed corporate executive visiting all the company's factories or all division headquarters or all counties that have company facilities. The term evokes the idea of political campaigning and would nowadays never involve a train, except incidentally, and no actual "whistle stops". DCDuring TALK 18:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Totally wrong. Delete SemperBlotto 22:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Definitely delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:01, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree on delete, but do you think the entry for whistle-stop covers this sense sufficiently? I mean, is a "whistle-stop campaign" same as an "extremely brief and hurried campaign" or do we need another definition in the entry "whistle-stop"? --Hekaheka 09:39, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) * 2005, Teck Sung Yap and Hong Tat Ewe, A Mobile Phone Malicious Software Detection Model with Behavior Checker, in Web and Communication Technologies and Internet-Related Social Issues — HSI 2005: 3rd International Conference on Human.Society@Internet — Tokyo, Japan, July 2005: Proceedings (edited by Shinji Shimojo, Shingo Ichii, Tok Wang Ling, and Kwan-Ho Song; ISBN 3540278303 (10), ISBN 978-3540278306 (13)), page 58:
 * Bluejacking and bluesnarfing are the two forms of new intrusion. Bluejacking is a technique of sending anonymous messages to Bluetooth enabled device and bluesnarfing allows attackers to hack in and download data stored in mobile phones such as contact details and diary entries without leaving any trace [7].
 * 1) * 2006 December 2, Eric Cole, Sandra Ring, Insider Threat: Protecting the Enterprise from Sabotage, Spying, and Theft ISBN 1597491012 (10), ISBN 978-1597491013 (13)), chapter 12: “Wireless Security Project Plan”, page 462:
 * Stealing calendar and contact information via bluesnarfing requires both Bluetooth devices be on and available. The quickest and easiest way to avoid bluesnarfing (which requires about two to three minutes of continuous connection time) is to disable Bluetooth when not specifically in use.
 * 1) * 2007, James M. Byrne, Donald J. Rebovich (editors), The New Technology of Crime, Law and Social Control ISBN 1881798739 (10), ISBN 978-1881798736 (13)), pages 29–30:
 * “Bluesnarfing”, sometimes also called Bluejacking and Podslurping, is the exploitation of Bluetooth-enabled devices. [ [] ] The most infamous instance of Bluesnarfing occurred in February 2005, when a Sidekick II mobile communication device owned by the celebrity Paris Hilton was compromised. Information contained on the device, including data and images, was stolen. Bluesnarfing occurs when an individual in relatively close proximity to the victim uses a Bluetooth-enabled device to remove data from a victim with another Bluetooth-enabled device.

Talk:compromise

Compromise <> Decision Based on Conflicting Information, Right?
I'd like to ask about the meaning of "compromise". A decision based on conflicting information is not a compromise, right?

My understanding is that "compromise" applies only when you make a choice designed to satisfy conflicting objectives. If you make a choice informed by conflicting opinions, but designed to satisfy only one objective, then it is not a compromise.

For instance, suppose I'm selling widgets. One advisor says I can maximize my profit by selling many of them at $1 each; another advisor says I can maximize profit by selling fewer of them at $3 each; and I, not knowing who is correct, set the price at $2 each. It would be incorrect to call that a "compromise", right?

Talk:hit the ball twice

hit the ball twice
Cricket: Describing the method of getting out in which the batsman deliberately hits the ball with his bat a second time for a reason other than to protect his wicket --Rising Sun talk? contributions 21:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * A precise definition of one of the ways of being given out in cricket - what is your objection? SemperBlotto 21:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I too see no problem with this. Certainly not SoP as it's only hitting the ball twice for other reasons than to protect his wicket (whatever a wicket is. I've read THHGTTG and still have no idea, except that it apparently has three pillars and a crossbeam atop).—an ignorant American 22:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Now I see this is listed as an adjective, not a verb. A verb definition would appear unidiomatic to me. There was an objection at Talk:hit the ball twice. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 08:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's an adverb - he was out hit the ball twice. Hence keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Kept and tagged for cleanup. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, but blech, what an ugly adjective. Can't the cricketeers just say "he was out because he hit the ball twice" or "he was out for hitting the ball twice."? Facts707 12:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Striking. —msh210℠ 18:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Request for Verification discussion
Rfv-sense: noun. Any cites for 'a hit the ball twice' or 'the hit the ball twice'? Two cites we already have justify the adverb. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:24, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sigh Facts, did you really have to remove the adverb? That now means if the noun fails RFV, this entry will be deleted. Also, I don't see how your citation justifies a noun, any more like "rule 2: hitting a six" justifies a noun entry for hitting a six. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem, I just rfv-sensed the adverb as well, so both can be discussed. Facts707 11:16, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, didn't mean to frustrate you. It just appeared very obvious to me that the entry was a rule:, hence there was no need for the adverb. Apparently you don't see it that way, so I'm happy to discuss it here with others. Facts707 11:21, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: adverb. The adverb appears to me to be an attributive use of the rule "hit the ball twice". Thus, in cricket:, the rule: is "hit the ball twice" and the ruling: is "out, hit the ball twice", "out 'hit the ball twice'", "out Hit the ball twice", "out (hit the ball twice)", etc. Facts707 11:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Clearly (very clearly) we disagree on what the citations actually support. Try comparing:

 * 1) The batsman was out happily
 * 2) The batsman was out hit the ball twice

It seems to describe the way of being out, in the same way that happily does. That said, we need more input. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:item of data

I can see why this is useful but it's not idiomatic and it's not a set phrase. The word "item" can easily be replaced with "piece". Other words probably also fit.

I think what this article is trying to address is actually a point of grammar rather than a point of vocabulary. As such I don't think this entry should really exist. What do other think? — Hippietrail 11:41, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * You say data item more often. I think we can explain it in data. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:50, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

item of data
Basically for the reasons Hippietrail gives on Talk:item of data. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

 * But (for better or worse) we have item of clothing and piece of furniture, which seem to deserve the same treatment as this gets. Incidentally, data item is probably commoner. Equinox ◑ 21:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * We also have piece of clothing and piece of paper. Do we really need them? — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:43, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:piece of furniture

Please see my comment under item of data as to why these phrases are probably not dictionary material.

Also, "item(s) of furniture" gets about 58,000 Google hits whereas "piece(s) of furniture" gets a much larger 460,000. Why would the slightly artificial-sounding "item" version be the main entry? — Hippietrail 11:46, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

RFD discussion: July 2017–January 2018
Sum of parts, surely. ---> Tooironic (talk) 12:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I remember that years back there was a leeengthy discussion about this and it was kept. If there's ever a need for a translation target, this is the one. If one translates "piece of furniture" word-by-word to almost any other language, one ends up with nonsense. --Hekaheka (talk) 17:26, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Not in Chinese, and I imagine many other Asian languages. ---> Tooironic (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * 🇨🇬 is nonsensical. can mean both. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 17:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, a piece of furniture shouldn't be called "a furniture". DonnanZ (talk) 17:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * So, by that rationale, should we add piece of advice, piece of equipment, piece of information, piece of news, piece of stationery, etc.? This is quite a normal English construction that is used to count a mass noun. ---> Tooironic (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * is not "a furniture". Neither is . --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 22:54, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * And? Why should a feature of a foreign language impact the inclusion of English terms on the English Wiktionary? What you describe would be better placed in a grammar not a dictionary. ---> Tooironic (talk) 00:19, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. "Furniture" is just a mass noun, and it's normal to treat it this way in English. This translation target stuff is making me roll my eyes a bit. It comes up for everything. We have to either accept at some point that we're primarily an English language dictionary rather than a translation dictionary, or we need to create a collocations section to allow common SOP phrases. I'd much prefer the latter, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be consensus for it.... Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:04, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Don't know. We do need to indicate somehow/somewhere that this phrase is the usual singular for furniture (not "a furniture"). That could be a usage note or something at furniture. Equinox ◑ 00:32, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

And what about the remaining "translation targets"? Kill'em all? They are hardly more useful than this one. If that should be the policy, I'm ok with it, but let's be consistent. --Hekaheka (talk) 13:41, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: by all means add a usage note at (note that it is also possible in some contexts to say "a stick of furniture" and "a set of furniture"), but it is clearly SoP as Tooironic says. I take it we are not planning to create entries for "bunch of grapes", "piece of legislation", and so on. — Cheers,  Jack Lee  –talk– 08:37, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * To be fair, this is less of a translation target and more of a clear-cut sum of parts IMO. ---> Tooironic (talk) 23:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Less than ace of diamonds, banana peel, national sports team, model aircraft, birthday card and CD player, just to name a few? --Hekaheka (talk) 06:30, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. ---> Tooironic (talk) 08:09, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No. Anyway, why don't we just move it to Category:English phrasebook? That category can obviously accommodate anything from could I see the menu, please to I am English to two beers, please, including 59 entries beginning with "I'm ...", from I'm blind (no, it doesn't have a sound file) to both I'm fine and I'm fine, thank you to I'm twenty years old, so why not a few "pieces of" for the cases which, unlike the abovementioned, can't be translated directly? --Droigheann (talk) 13:19, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Nearly all of the phrasebook phrases are full sentences (even if elliptical, like "two beers please"), not just vocabulary items in a vacuum. Equinox ◑ 17:13, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * And? Does being full sentences make them any less SoPs? Occasionally even sort of "double" SoPs when we have both how do I get to and how do I get to the airport, how do I get to the bus station & how do I get to the train station? --Droigheann (talk) 21:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The inclusion of phrasebook entries has nothing to do with SoP - rather, we include phrases which are commonly used in phrasebooks and actually useful. "Piece of furniture" is just a common collocation, not a phrase with a specific pragmatic function. ---> Tooironic (talk) 06:24, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That's where we differ, for me having "piece of furniture" is about a thousand times more useful than having, say, I'm agnostic. But maybe these things are always down to subjective opinions ... --Droigheann (talk) 20:18, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say I'm agnostic is representative of the English phrasebook. Most of the entries we have in there are actually common and useful. ---> Tooironic (talk) 11:24, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete SoP, follows a standard English approach to "countabilizing" English mass nouns. It would be important to include the common examples of these in usage examples (less desirably, citations) at the various uncountable nouns that show this behavior. DCDuring (talk) 00:05, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * An interesting contrast in terms of idiomaticity is chest of drawers, which is sometimes (NOT normally) spelled chesterdrawers, indicating a loss of connection of the idiom with its origins and apparent components. In contrast pizzafurniture is very rare in this sense and pisafurniture is only a crossword clue word. DCDuring (talk) 00:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * For the record, I see no reason why pizzafurniture could not also be a crossword clue word. bd2412 T 01:25, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Some singulars of mass nouns are irregular, such as

 * clothes: article of clothing
 * smoke: smoke particle
 * rice: grain of rice.
 * However, this one follows the most common "piece of". It should be indicated on the furniture page as well, but this page is useful as a translation target, as "furniture" is not a mass noun in all languages (i.e. Spanish). Human-potato hybrid (talk) 07:42, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

neurosis

Noun

 * 1)  A mental disorder, less severe than psychosis, marked by anxiety or fear which differ from normal measures by their intensity, which disorder results from a failure to compromise or properly adjust during the developmental stages of life, between normal human instinctual impulses and the demands of human society.

Usage notes
The term is no longer part of mainstream psychiatric terminology in the United States, having been eliminated from the DSM in 1980, when its editors decided to provide descriptions of behavior rather than of hidden psychological mechanisms. It may still be found in texts on psychology and philosophy.
