Talk:sandy

Name
Sandy is a boy's name?

 * That's Sandy with a capital S. Equinox ◑ 18:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

What does sandy mean in Henry James's The Real Thing?
In a short story by Henry James, The Real Thing, an artist who is going to make the illustrations for a novel says about one of his models (the good lady):
 * «And indeed I could see the slipshod rearrangements of stale properties--the stories I tried to produce pictures for without the exasperation of reading them--whose sandy tracts the good lady might help to people.»

In this context the word sandy does not seem to be used as any of the current definitions in sandy. Does anybody know what does Henry James meant with it? Thanks. --81.33.193.164 01:17, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I am also struggling to understand. I can't seem to find any 19th century uses of this word that fit. But it sounds negative...

 * A sandy tract would be a desert. Perhaps it's metaphorical here. "People" is the verb, meaning "populate". "Properties" would, I think, be scenes on the stage, or something theatrical. Equinox ◑ 18:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Slightly different sense?
Here, the hourglass is filled with sand, not like or sprinkled with sand. Equinox ◑ 18:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * 1607, Thomas Heywood, A Woman Killed with Kindness
 * That Time could turn up his swift sandy glass, / To untell the days, and to redeem these hours.

Talk:Spider-Man

RFD discussion
So what are we looking for? "like spiderman" citations? Polarpanda 23:09, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Move to RFV. Needs attributive cites. ("A Spider-Man" sounds somewhat possible.) --Yair rand 23:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Kept and sent to RFV. —msh210℠ 18:19, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

He's a fictional character. --Daniel. 16:58, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Move to RFV. --Yair rand 23:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Move both to RFV. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:20, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Spidey at least: how does this not meet WT:CFI? It's a word, a slangy nickname, not a proprietary name or the name of a fictional character. Equinox ◑ 23:26, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

 * keep Spidey as a slang nickname, most likely coined (or at least popularised) outside the Spiderman universe. At least, as long as we're keeping an entry for Hoff. This sparks me to create an entry for Hef --Rising Sun talk? 00:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. RFV if you really think it's in use independently of Spider-Man, but then at least start us off with a citation. —Michael Z. 2010-03-06 19:08 z

Kept and sent to RFV. —msh210℠ 18:19, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Both were kept at RFD pending verification. —msh210℠ 18:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Cited Spidey:, I think. Equinox ◑ 12:17, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's cited as far as I'm concerned. For future reference you got a couple of editors labelled as the authors, and missed that a couple were quoting someone else. Also it's very helpful to have urls, page numbers, isbns, etc. as that makes verification very significantly easier - see the edits I've made. Thryduulf (talk) 13:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I disagree. WT:CFI reads, in part:
 * With respect to names of persons or places from fictional universes, they shall not be included unless they are used out of context in an attributive sense.
 * I think that falls under that clause, and that the quotations do not demonstrate out-of-context attributive-sense use.
 * —Ruakh TALK 13:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that is directly applicable to Spidey: - Spider-Man:, yes, no question that clause applies. However "Spidey" is not the "name" of the character, it's a diminutive form of the name, derived from the name, but not the name. As far as I know, "Spidey" is not used in the title of any official comics or other media or merchandise in/on which the character appears. As the CFI doesn't explicitly deal with words that are used only to refer to fictional places/characters, but are not themselves fictional places or characters, and it is verified now that the word exists and is used in the sense given in the entry. I'd say send to RfD, but it came here from there, on the grounds that it shouldn't be deleted for being a proprietary name. Given that, a discussion about the general case seems more likely to be fruitful. Thryduulf (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * According to WP, "In the comics, Spider-Man is often referred to as 'Spidey'". Perhaps it's true, as you say, Thryduulf, that the term doesn't appear in the title of a comic, but I don't see that the title is different from the interior (as regards this discussion). If a character is named R. Daneel Olivaw, but called Daneel Olivaw in the book, surely the latter needs to meet the name-of-a-person-from-a-fictional-universe criterion? This is much the same. —msh210℠ (talk) 17:38, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: : RFV failed, entry deleted.

Re: : I believe this should fail, but would prefer that a third party close this if possible. So, I'm adding.

—Ruakh TALK 13:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any references to use outside of the comics. The fact that it isn't used in titles does not constitute a significant issue that should be seen as an exception to the CFI quote above. __meco 09:31, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

 * It seems that Spidey fails our CFI. We should move the citations to the citations page, though (one day, CFI may allow the entry). — Beobach 07:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

RFV failed. —msh210℠ (talk) 17:59, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Both restored with additional citations. DAVilla 03:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Spider-Man was really difficult to cite, but not for lack of citations. There are so many books on the subject that all search results on Google Books have this in the title up until Google gives up on providing any more results. I had to explicitly search for books without Spider-Man in the title, and even then skip the first few pages of results that directly discussed the comic book character, even while filtering out for keywords like Marvel and comics. Someone please explain to me, how the flying frack is this not clearly widespread use? DAVilla 03:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I would be fine with deleting this, since there are no links on Citations:Spider-Man, so I can only assume that the citations are from contexts that explain exactly what Spider-Man is. I've learned to be suspicious of claims that a cite satisfies WT:FICTION. (Actually, to be honest, I've checked, and the first citation is from a book that repeatedly talks about Spider-Man. For some reason, the citation is from the twentieth Spider-Man–mentioning page. So, clearly invalid. The second and third citations are also invalid IMHO, in that they don't seem to be attributive: they're referring to people in Spider-Man costumes. But I would be very fine with a presumption that cites don't count toward WT:FICTION unless they've got links, and those links point to plenty of context.) —Ruakh TALK 02:39, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Greetings,

Please direct your complaints about rollbacks to me, since I was the one that rolled your edits back. No malice is intended by a rollback; the content added simply isn't appropriate for the English Wiktionary.

The English Wiktionary aims to provide a dictionary of all words in all languages. In order to prevent the repetition of certain types of abuse, we require that terms entered here actually be words in a language.

For idioms, we certainly accept a broad array of idiomatic terms. But the terms we do include are common, recognizable idioms. We also include foreign idioms with both a literal and figurative translation. But the ones you entered were purported to be English. I am pretty certain they are not.

If you wish to assert that they really are common idioms in the English language, simply find three citations from published books. (I like to search http://books.google.com/ to get started.) If you need help formatting citations you find, I'll be happy to help. However, if you cannot find printed citations for these idioms, kindly note that they do not meet our minimum criteria for inclusion and therefore should not be added to our List of idioms.

Talk:nemorous

Definition: help please

 * 1) Is it a synonym of woody and/or ligneous?
 * 2) Could someone please provide an example to help understanding the meaning? Kipmaster 12:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have seen in 6 dictionaries the following: woody, woodsy and wooded. Since those three only have one common definition rougly forrested, I would guess that, and use nemoral for "pertaining to trees".  books.google only provides one example, "a [kind of] nemorous temple", which doesn't help, the temple may be made of wood or it may contain trees, so who knows. - TheDaveRoss 12:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The reason it's complicated is that this word has hardly ever been used. The normal word is nemoral and even that is very rare. Almost all the Google Books hits seem to refer back to one specific quote... the meaning is not ‘ligneous’, it's ‘wooded’ (the Latin source doesn't mean ‘wood’ the material, it means a grove of trees). But you would only use this in very literary or poetic senses. Widsith 14:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, where did we get ‘dark’ and ‘shady’ from in the def? Says who? Any references? This word isn't in the sOED. Widsith 14:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I fuond that information, but don't have my notes at hand. I'll see where it was that I found that tidbit -- I've got a number of lesser-known specialist books on words. --EncycloPetey 17:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

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 Turtles. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Turtles~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 00:22, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * آپ is the most formal way of expressing "you" in Urdu and is used when addressing elders or those higher in social status. Because less formal forms could offend others, آپ is the safest way to express "you" unless there is reason to be less formal.
 * Because آپ is grammatically plural (adjectives and verbs etc affected by it take their plural forms) even when there is only one person being referred to, the term آپ لوگ (literally: you people) can be used to specify that more than one person is being referred to because of T-V distinction.

Talk:who shot John

Used to shut down long, involved excuses and blame game
Gunny DD Barton Ret. Here. First time I heard the phrase was in the Corps circa 1970's. Used to shut down an involved smoke and mirrors explanation of an event or more simply, the excuses and blame game for the event transpiring. You may now resume your regularly scheduled editing.

The idiom "who shot John" has nothing to do with Judge Judy, it's an old Texarkana expression. I've heard that expression since 1948, Judge Judy wasn't even a teenager then. It can mean "don't give me a rambling explanation",  or "you look like somebody who needs an excuse for looking so bad". One example - a father says to child, "I want to know what happened, and leave out the who shot John." Or a dad tells his teenage daughter who has on too much inexpertly applied makeup and ripped jeans, "Don't go outside looking like who shot John." In both senses it means bullshit. Another example, "I got the whole who shot John already." Meaning, I have been overly informed ad nauseam about the situation. That the truth and no who shot John.

 * Deleted the etymology. DAVilla 02:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Anyone besides Judge Judy and fans? --Connel MacKenzie 05:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Now cited, -ish. The cites don't actually seem to agree with the given etymology and sense. —RuakhTALK 18:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

RFV passed. DAVilla 02:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I am just curious to know why this entry has not been corrected. I am over 55 years of age and my parents have used the term "lookin' like who shot john" for as long as I've been in the world. (Prior to 1979 as indicated here. I anticipate this entry will be deleted (and that's fine), I just wish to call it to the editors' attention that the wiktionary definitions here need to be corrected or at least include an asterisk as to the true origins of the phrase, even if that be unknown. My great grandmother (who just died at the ripe old age of 109.5) always said it. I think it's of southern origin because while I've almost always heard black people say it, I've heard some white folks down south use it. When I've heard it - "Girl you look like who shot John!" that meant we looked a mess, dishelved. clothes dirty or hair messy. I heard it most when I woke up in the morning with bed hair or after coming inside from playing outside.

 * I don't doubt what you say. But we didn't come across usage in the sense you mention when we were finding quotes for the definition we have. When someone has the chance, they may look for usage in books (probably fictional dialog) and insert a definition. DCDuring TALK 23:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I have found evidence of the expression going back to 1917, where it is used without explanation or reference to anything specific. If I had to make a bet, I would be on a US origin and identify "John" as John Wilkes Booth. Citations:who shot John has the highlights of the evidence. The negative evidence is the absence of any similar indication of one particular "John". It could have no specific reference, of course, John just being a very common name.
 * See also the citations page for quotes of "like who shot John". DCDuring TALK 16:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Here's an interesting one: Cheers! bd2412 T 03:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. I had noticed that when working on the entry, but was more motivated to work on what I did. That's also an interesting use of peg. DCDuring TALK 11:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed it is. I think it is almost a random noun insertion. bd2412 T 20:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently it really is a UK term. It is in multiple other dictionaries. DCDuring TALK 21:36, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I am an old timer, "Who shot John" only refers to two things: 1) hooch. It can be homemade or store-bought. 2) gossip.

In colloquial parlance every one above is correct. The closest defn is what ppl these days call pot, "shit." It's not offensive. "I'm gonna buy some shit," does not refer to anything but pot. Hooch is and always will be home-made alcohol, although some ppl say they're going out to buy some hooch, which is just whiskey.

US usage: Virginia
From the 1940’s in rural Virginia, I have heard and used he term, “who shot John,” all of my life, usually in the general form, “That’s just a bunch of who shot John,” or, “Don’t give me all that who shot John.”  The term’s definition on the Etymology page, “A long and involved explanation; a thing of which an explanation would be long and involved,” does not fully comport with any usage I heard growing up, which usage would more aptly be defined as “An answer or explanation so filled with copious, rambling details that it never addresses the actual issue.”  I do not recall its ever being used in reference to a “thing” or object, though that may be only regional. As to etymology, I strongly suspect that the roots of this usage are in the probably apocryphal, but perhaps actual query, “Who shot John?” the response to which begged the question. If the expression has Southern origins, it is unlikely to have any derivation from who shot John Wilkes Booth, because that question would have been phrased, “Who shot Booth,” and, frankly, most Southerners of that era could not have cared less.
 * [Copied from WT:Feedback]. DCDuring TALK 23:45, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I grew up in Washington DC in the 1960s with many older relatives in rural Virginia. The meaning above is also the only one I have ever known.

"A bunch of who shot John" is a long rambling story that doesn't seem to have a point. But one part of the definition is missing: it is used by a person as a stalling tactic to avoid answering a more important/difficult/embarrassing question at hand.

"Where have you been all night?" [long involved story with many extraneous details follows, not even attempting to answer the question.] "Don't give me a bunch of who shot John, just tell me where you were all night!!!" 71.232.27.147 04:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The stalling sense seems to be adequately covered by our "long and involved explanation" definition, which has citations showing other (non-stalling) uses of this sense too. Equinox ◑ 04:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

When I was growing up in the Appalachian foothills of Southern Ohio, there were lots of bootlegging joints in the dry townships. At those venues I heard many men refer to rotgut whiskey as "Who-Shot-John", ergo: "Take a good horn o' this Who-Shot-John."

Patrick W. Crabtree, McDermott, Ohio

Hooch or "Who shot John" was my 99 year old neighbors expression for moonshine or Rock-n-Rye, both used for cold syrup. "Mark, I need some "who shot John". Gaither and Vertyl Bailey. Lotties Creek, Burnsville, NC. Sure miss those two.

 * I used to look this up and found the moonshine sense,  of the others. DARE is a great source for US regional English. Libraries at higher educational institutions, cities, and affluent areas in the US tend to have it, though not always all volumes.

In Appalachia, a good man is and was one who didn't imbibe, although to 99.99% it just meant they smoked, sweated, something to cover the smell of alcohol from their better-halfs. But corn squeezins will kill you. Other names for it are "moonshine" and "white lightnin." Best to stick to the city stuff, lest you wanna find yourself wakin up in the woods or some part a town you've never seen at 3am or the residents call the cops for some man sleeping in mud. I am not joking.

You can't function correctly at all on the hard stuff. Robin Williams talked about it correctly. He said when he'd wake up, he'd ask himself, "Who shit in my pants?" It's been a while butt (pun intended) I remember.
 * DARE has only the "liquor, esp. illegal" sense, with their usual documentation. Their sources range from VA, sAppalachians to MO. DCDuring (talk) 15:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Current definition incorrect
Nothing I have come across online other than Wiktionary and sources that have clearly taken from Wiktionary word for word indicates that the definition of "who shot John" refers to a long, verbose explanation. From what I am seeing online, the proper definition for this phrase is "nonsense," or a second definition of "playing the blame game and fingerpointing." Sources are shown as follows: and. I have updated the definition with that in mind. 184.58.243.72 04:50, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I agree with you. Several of the cites for the "long-winded explanation" fit much better with the "blame game" definition. I have moved those citation there.
 * I have so far found less evidence for the "nonsense" definition, but will keep looking. DCDuring (talk) 15:41, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry on my late reply DCDuring and I value your informed feedback. I think what you did was wisest and advisable, to sort of merge the definitions as they would seem to relate. Also, could you help me understand what qualifies as a reliable source here at Wiktionary so I can assist in finding these sources? I am a long time user of Wikipedia so I am well aware of what reliable sources are considered over there. While I have used Wiktionary on and off since about 2004, I have never been a regular user here. I haven't yet ever made an account here but I like using this dictionary for hard-to-decipher words from WIkipedia. Edit: Looks like it changed by IP address from the above. 2603:6000:A403:5800:91CD:96C9:5166:B5B1 10:15, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for noticing the problem with our definitions.
 * Our approach to entry validation differs significantly from WP's. We would probably be accused of OR there. In particular, it can be difficult to match citations with definitions where there are multiple and overlapping definitions,
 * See WT:ATTEST for our standards for evidence.
 * Register if you can. It helps to develop a reputation. DCDuring (talk) 10:59, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much likewise DCDuring. I appreciate those eye-opening notes about your policies and how they compare to Wikipedia. I will familiarize myself with your policies and read up on WT:ATTEST. I will message you at your page as soon as I create an account here just so you're aware. Thank you! 2603:6000:A403:5800:A043:FF2F:A90F:89BF 00:42, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: November 2021
Rfv-sense: "Nonsense; rubbish." Recently added by an IP for reasons given on talk. It's in some other print and online slang dictionaries, and I can find some citations where people refer to "who-shot-John nonsense", but more input would be helpful in evaluating whether this is just calling a long, involved (stalling) story or blame game "nonsense", cf. the old talk page discussion of whether there's a stalling-specific sense or just the "long, involved explanation" sense which is sometimes used to stall and sometimes not. IP also added another sense having to do with blame game, but it not only seems to exist, some of the existing citations seemed more like uses of it than of the sense they had been under, so DCDuring and I moved them. - -sche (discuss) 15:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
