Talk:astroturfing

Presumably this is a noun, not a verb. If so, the part of speech and definition need to be changed. — Paul G 09:00, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Actually I find evidence that people "are astroturfing" and "have astroturfed", so they are used as verbs. I haven't really come across the infinitive though, so I'll leave that off. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 03:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
Aside from the noun sense already mentioned at the entry, I've seen this used quite a bit as a present participle and also astroturfed as the past participle. The problem is I haven't seen it used in the infinitive verb (astroturf), so how should I format the entries? Should astroturfing be the 'lemma' article in this neologistic case? --Bequw → ¢ • τ 03:36, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * See Astroturf which I have added with 2 cites for the verb in the not so figurative sense. I can't find much for astroturf as a verb. One thing for sure: astroturfing isn't an adjective (no comparative, no predicate use). DCDuring TALK 04:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Completely different sense/idea. See astroturfing which is political jargon for a PR campaign that shows fake "grass roots" support for an idea (heance the play on a word for "fake grass"). Astroturf is a very regular verb (infinitive, past, participles, etc.), whereas the question remains about astroturfing. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 19:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The figurative sense of the verb will certainly be identical to the literal sense in its inflection. Whether "astroturfing" in the political sense is a noun (forms a plural, etc.), I don't know. DCDuring TALK 19:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

idag

Verb

 * 1) to avoid by moving suddenly out of the way; to dodge

Usage notes
idag is accepted in Riksmål. Originally a continuation of pre-1938 Bokmål, it has developed into a separate, unofficial written standard used by people who reject the Bokmål spelling reforms of 1938 and 1959. These reforms were mostly further Norwegianisation of the Danish language used in Norway (like the reforms of 1907 and 1917). The 1938 reform was, unlike the previous ones, not only introducing new spellings (like snø, etter, nå), but also removing the Danish ones (sne, efter, nu).

I think here we're supposed to enter words in their own scripts. But the tengwar are not part of Unicode. I guess we should just use Tolkien's transliterations (which is what is currently done on the index page). Eric119 23:28, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

 * True, we don't really have a choice now. Eventually, though, it will be in Unicode, and we'll hafta move all these pages.

Talk:super

I'm not happy with this entry.
 * 1) adjective and interjection shouldn't share an entry
 * 2) in all the same ways it's also used as an adverb (super cool, super sexy etc)
 * 3) is the "combining form" entry legitimate? aren't these just derived terms? I'm pretty sure German can use super freely as a prefix but it's more limited in English.

Should the adj/int section be split 3 ways including adverb with the syns reproduced under each?

I'm not sure where to put the Japanese translation - especially as regards this "combining form".

— Hippietrail 02:57, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Isn't super also a contraction of superintendent? Polyglot 00:15, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

From [[wikipedia:Super]:

As an all-purpose adjective super was one of the characteristic words of "swinging London" in the 1960s and 1970s, replacing fab and gear from the early 60s, but its history in the language is much older. 58.147.24.196 01:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Isn't super comparable as: super, superior, supreme? The pages for superior and supreme claim things like 'more superior', but I've never heard anyone use these in speech. And, the Latin for super compares: superus, superior, supremus. What do you think? Elbbom 18:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Latin etymology
Latin etymology is currently. How does this relate to ? Hongthay (talk) 19:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Is it worth pointing out that use of super as an adverb is less common in British English? I rarely hear it used in the UK, but North Americans seem to use it frequently. --Suction Man (talk) 10:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

The difference between the two vowels is lost after the consonants, , , , in RP, and in some other dialects also after , , , , , , and , for example in dew, do.

Talk:take off

Could we have attestations for take off as "satirize". I've heard take off on and the more common noun form takeoff, but not just take off, as

 * * SNL's Weekend Update frequently takes off the president's behavior.

Also, I can't come up with a strong example for begin. I can imagine

 * This company is beginning to take off.

which is clearly a metaphorical extension of the "leave the ground" sense.

-dmh 15:49, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

Not just for powered flight--a glider or a skier can "take off", too. RSvK 20:38, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

Point. I would have the skiing example as a separate (derived) sense, but a glider taking off is definitely the same sense as for other aircraft. In that definition I was trying to capture the idea that an airplane or rocket can take off, but I didn't think a blimp or hot-air baloon would (what do they do?). -dmh 03:15, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

I would like a definition of what is meant by "a take-off of dimensions" in architecture.

Take off, loser!
Isn't "take off", in this sense, a stereotypical Canadianism? It's rarely used as an expression in the U.S. 4.242.147.237 17:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if that is limited to my cousins Bob & Doug Mckenzie, or all of Canada. I'm also not sure if that would be described as an interjection or as a verb, offhand.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

take off = succeed
I've added a recent newspaper quote. I can add more if needed. I think = succeed is not really questionable.Algrif 17:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

take off = impersonate / satirize
I know it is used in this way, but I'm blowed if I can find any good quotable support. Mostly I find does a good take-off and similar, using the noun form rather than the straight phrasal verb. I'm going to keep looking though. Algrif 17:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:like

the like
Need to add the like as in I've never seen the like. and the likes of as in I've never seen the likes of that. or the likes of which I've never seen.

Both of these may be dated and/or regional, and it would be nice to get some data points on usage.

-dmh 16:05, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

Etymology
A etymology of like would be nice

Such As
Don't we need a 'such as' type of like described? The speaker addressed many of Reed's strengths, like its nuclear reactor, its small class sizes, and its penchant for celebrating the elements of the periodic table.

Particle Etymologies
Are the colloquial particle senses sense really from Old English??

 * I'm not at all sure about the "filler" senses, but the others seem derived from the adjective. DCDuring TALK 11:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Etymology 2
it says the "similar" etymology is from old english "lic," meaning "corpse." Has this been proven? It seems to me like "gelic," "Alike," would be more likely.

Thanks. I have edited Etymology 2 along those lines. I didn't insert a more complete ety that would make clear exactly how "lik" is a cognate, because I have no confidence in my ability to grasp the inferences for unattested words in hypothesised languages - not that I doubt the scholarship. Those derivations show ancestor of gelic < ancestor of ge- "corresponding", "together", "with" + ancestor of lik, "body". DCDuring TALK 11:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
Like is used informally to form an adverb from an adjective ending in -ly. See, e.g.,. Sometimes it's bound with a hyphen to the adjective, as friendly-like, sometimes it's separated from it by a space, as friendly like; I haven't examined relative frequencies, though that would be wise. What POS is this? And what pagename: [[-like]] or [[like]]? — msh210 ℠ 17:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * If the resulting terms aren't spelled solid, then it should be at "like", I think. It seems to be an adverb. DCDuring TALK 17:15, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, I'm seeing some uses that make friendly[-| ]like seem like an adjective: "they are all friendly like to him"|smiled|smiling+silly|friendly+like%22&lr=&as_brr=1#v=onepage&q=%22all|smiled|smiling%20silly|friendly%20like%22&f=false, for example. Thoughts? — msh210 ℠ 18:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Facebook like
Wonder if Facebook has done something to this word. "I liked Coca-Cola" doesn't necessarily mean that you don't like it anymore, as it may just as well mean that I pressed the like button on Facebook and became a follower of Coca Cola. It is quite widespread, should it be added to the dictionary? Eivind (t) 07:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree there is an emerging new sense here. ("I liked Coca-Cola at 18:03 today, but my page didn't register the change until 18:07.") But I don't know whether it's unique to Facebook or whether other sites have the same thing. In any case, single-site words like tweet: have become so widespread that we have them anyway, so this should probably be added. Equinox ◑ 00:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

 * ...aaaand someone's just added it. Equinox ◑ 22:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Phrase
What about the phrase "What's it like...[someplace]?" doesn't seem to be here.

Changing the article
I just want to know if this words should be capitalized or not per the the English Wikipedian naming conventions, which states that any preposition shorter than five characters should be capitalized. See, I'm really starting to think that the preposition like is a preposition, but mixed with an adjective form. The following sentence: a subject like physics (sentence taken from http://www.merriam-webster.com). Isn't an adjective a descriptive word? This preposition is in similarity to, which describes something, could we also consider it an ajective? Because adjectives should be capitalized per the naming conventions, and I'm wondering if even if it was mixed with a preposition would it be capitalized or not. --Ian Streeter (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You seem to be talking about article titles in Wikipedia. This is Wiktionary - we do thing properly here. Prepositions are never capitalized. SemperBlotto (talk) 22:31, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * But I NEEDED to know if it was capitalized or not? And i also want to know if like could also be considered an adjective also. Ian Streeter (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In "a subject like physics", it's a preposition. Compare "a place near school", "a person beside you". On the other hand, alike: is an adjective: "maths and physics are alike". Equinox ◑ 22:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It is commonly capitalized on English Wikipedian articles. Ian Streeter (talk) 00:17, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it? Please give an example. We do not capitalise our entries unless the word itself is always capitalised, like Germany (not germany). That isn't true for like. We don't use the same rules as Wikipedia. Equinox ◑ 00:20, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * OTOH, in "a subject like physics", it can be modified like an adverb: "a subject more like physics", "the subject most like physics". -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:15, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Meaning "said"
I can barely believe I'm mentioning this, but there is a very common meaning in the vernacular of the youth that is missing here. Example: I was like "I'm going to the party". Meaning, I said "I'm going to the party".

Myself, I would love to see this usage disappear from the planet, but it is certainly here now. Thoughts? Donpayette (talk) 14:47, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's there already. Scroll down to the Particle heading. Equinox ◑ 14:49, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Me, I was looking under "verb". Should have asked my wife, she's the English teacher. Donpayette (talk) 15:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Is the preposition definition right?
i'm wondering if the definition of "somewhat similar to, reminiscent of" for the preposition is accurate. How does it explain constructions such as: "The man looked exactly like his twin"? For me, this means "the man looked identical to his twin", not "the man looked exactly somewhat similar to his twin", which is nonsensical. --87.82.207.195 01:57, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I think the "exactly" is what is confusing you. Like = somewhat similar to: The man looked like his twin = the man looked similar to his twin.
 * OTOH, "exactly like" = identical (because of "exactly"). —Stephen (Talk) 03:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. My point is that when modified by "exactly" the word behaves in a way that is counter to the definition given in this entry. If like meant only "somewhat similar to" then "the man looked exactly like his twin" would mean something like, "it was exactly the case that the man and his twin looked somewhat similar to each other." This is obviously not the case.
 * For me at least, the preposition seems to refer to a degree of similarity that can range from approximate to completely identical depending on modification by adverbs ("kind of like", "a little bit like", "a lot like" "almost exactly like", "exactly like", "just like"...). This is very different from "similar to" which can only ever indicate approximate similarity, never identical relationships. When modified by adverbs like "exactly" or "just" it only indicates the degree to which this approximate similarity exists. --87.82.207.195 09:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * MWOnline has 5 senses of preposition like, one with a few subsenses:

 * a : having the characteristics of:  similar to his house is like a barn, it's like when we were kids
 * b : typical of was like him to do that
 * c : comparable to :  approximating costs something like fifty cents
 * 1)  in the manner of :  similarly to acts like a fool
 * 2)  as though there would be looks like rain
 * 3)  such as a subject ;;like physics''
 * 4)  —used to form intensive or ironic phrases fought like hell, like fun he did, laughed like anything
 * We have but one. Our definition is likely to not obviously fit some common uses. DCDuring (talk) 23:14, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Law Enforcement "Who do you like?"
This expression means "Who do you suspect?" Don't think this is covered by current entries. JohnI (talk) 12:35, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have heard it only as "who do you like for ". SemperBlotto (talk) 12:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not unique to law enforcement. Sports for example, "who do you like to win the Super Bowl?" is the same meaning just different because the contexts are different. Politics: "who do you like for the Democrat nomination" same thing. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * In form, genitalia is plural; the singular would theoretically be *genitale, but this is not used.
 * Genitalia may be used with either singular or plural verbs; using plural verbs ("his genitalia are...") is two or three times more common than using singular verbs ("his genitalia is...").
 * Sometimes, when genitalia is treated as singular, the plural genitalias is found, mostly in nonstandard or non-native speakers' English (albeit including non-native speakers' scholarly and scientific writing).
