Talk:precocious

The English and American usages have different flavors. The American usage is somewhat complimentary, as in it's a good thing to play the piano at 3 yrears old. The British usage is decidedly uncomplimentary, often implying some sort of bad behavior, as in banging on the piano.

 * As an American I've always associated the word precocious with snooty/uppity, so I'm not sure I'd call the American intent 'complimentary'. Speed8ump from 207.235.66.3 23:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * In my experience, as an American, "precocious" has always at least had an indication of being "feisty", and is a term usually only used to describe somebody who "did wrong" with their early talent ("prodigy" is used for a better meaning). It's rather like the difference in meaning between "unusual" and "abnormal". They technically both mean the same thing, and yet they don't. --72.197.114.218 03:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

sexual connotation?
I've often heard this word used with a sexual connotation, as in, "...a mischievously precocious nine-year-old girl by the name of Rin Kokonoe..." (from ). I'm unsure as to whether or not this is covered by definition 1; but it seems (at least to me) to be sufficiently different to at least warrant a note. D4g0thur 04:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Included in the meanings given. Usually the specific use is "sexually precocious". If there were use without "sexually" but with the same meaning in books or newspapers or Usenet, we would like to expand the entry to include it. It takes some research. Have you found some uses like that? DCDuring TALK 10:49, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

annoying connotation?

Talk:bitter end

An alternative speculation attributed to D. Chandler is that the origin relates to the stem end of a cucumber, which is often bitter, especially in older varieties, giving the option of stopping short of the bitter end, or eating all the way to it.

OK, I can see this one coming: "The 'idiomatic' sense you give is incorrect. It's a corruption of the nautical sense by people who don't know a gunwale from a boatswain."

First, I'm not entirely convinced that the nautical derivation tells the whole story. Yes, I've heard it firsthand from a guide on a battleship at Portsmouth, and I don't doubt that the end of the rope is the bitts and the end of the rope is called the bitter end. What I doubt is that the term bitter end is so derived. The story fairly reeks of folk etymology. I would expect bitts end or such, but inflecting bitt or bitts to bitter seems unlikely. I can't think of a similar example, though there may well be one.

Much more likely this is a bit of black humor on the part of some sailor or sailors who noticed the similarity in sound and sometimes sense as well (it might well be a desparate situation when the rope pays out to the end), and that bitter end is just a pun that caught on because it's memorable. It's entirely possible that the phrase "bitter end" predates the nautical usage.

Even if the nautical derivation is the only one, and no one else started to use to the bitter end and related phrases until the nautical usage became established, the non-nautical usage is still legitimate. People use it in the (ironically more literal) idiomatic sense all the time with a well-known meaning, unaware of any possible connection to life at sea.

If this term becomes controversial, it would be just yet another example of terms taking on a life of their own, despite insistence by some that only one preferred sense is "correct". Other famous examples are decimate, podium, tidal wave and (doesn't it just figure) misnomer. It's an interesting phenomenon, and one that we've attempted to document in Wiktionary (see Category:English words affected by prescriptivism and its mammoth talk page), unfortunately without great success as there has been little consensus on how to characterize the phenomenon without stepping on various people's toes (mine included :-) -dmh 20:48, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The nautical definition comes from "The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea". It's a pretty good source. SemperBlotto 21:15, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * What exactly does it say? -dmh 02:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * A bit more from random googling ("bitter end" bitts). The nautical term can be traced (at least) to 1627, in A Sea Grammere by Capt. John Smith (yes that John Smith):

A bitter is but the turne of a Cable about the bits [bitts, the stout posts on a ship's deck to which ropes and cables are fastened].... And the Bitters end is that part of the Cable doth stay within boord.

 * On the other hand, the KJB (1611) has, in Proverbs 5:4:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

 * This seems pretty inconclusive to me, notes in dictionaries tend to be fairly equivocal as well. Again, no one is disputing the nautical usage, only that it's necessarily the origin of all uses of the phrase. -dmh 02:19, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Then there's this from Measure for Measure, which doesn't explicitly use bitter end but mentions a "sweet end" to be reached through bitter means.

Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure He speak against me on the adverse side, I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic That's bitter to sweet end.

 * For that matter, I should mention the obvious: bitter in bitter end clearly means bitter in the usual sense of unhappy, and has nothing to do with ropes. -dmh 02:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm personally convinced that it's a folk etymology, but it's a very venerable one! See for example this 1675 work. --Slashme (talk) 21:08, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I'd suggest a simpler and, IMHO, more plausible derivation from brewing or wine-making. The yeast sediment will settle to the bottom of a cask or bottle and has a bitter unpleasant taste. A bottle of drink which has been used for secondary fermentation should be poured or decanted in one steady, continuous pour, otherwise the dregs at the bottom of the bottle will be disturbed and ruin the drink. Similarly cask brewed ales should be allowed to settle for several days after delivery. We don't commonly have this problem now, since the sediment is usually removed before the bottling process at the brewery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lees_%28fermentation%29

However, the end of the cask or bottle was bitter.

Talk:chimp

In January 2012 I can confirm that the use of chimp as a verb still appears to be used "only within the rather specialised field of digital photography" but is nonetheless a valid entry. Thank you, StevePreddy, it's good that I didn't need to resort to an 'alternative' dictionary to find its meaning. AndyCivil 01:18, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Supporting Notes for addition of chimp as a verb, added in edit by StevePreddy, 12 Apr 2005:

 * The usage of chimp as a verb appears to be of very recent origin, and it is a word apparently used only within the rather specialised field of digital photography, but nonetheless has accrued substantial usage, see e.g. the google entry for "chimping". StevePreddy 21:40, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments on Bush/Chimp definition & image added in edit by HiFlyer, 17 Mar 2005:

 * That image, with that caption, is certainly not in line with the NPOV policy. Wiktionary is not the place for pushing a viewpoint in that manner.  I've removed it.  Please provide proper citations for the claimed second noun definition, as a dictionary should.  A picture comparing a person to a chimp does not demonstrate that the word "chimp" actually has this particular usage.  Proper citations do.  Uncle G 00:33, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:souped-up

The correct term is "suped-up." "Souped" up is a gag that humorists in car magazines use as an example of someone being ignorant of the subject, eg: "This guy wanted to 'soup-up' his car, and asked me if he should use Tomato or Chicken soup."

 * I don't doubt these jokes are made though I can't recall hearing them in my years in car clubs. The American Heritage dictionary, for one, has a definition for "soup up". Google finds 417,000 hits including all inflected forms. The "supe-up" spelling has no AHD entry, and a mere 37,700 Google hits. The evidence seems to suggest that this term is correct as it is. — Hippietrail 02:06, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * If "souped-up" is a gag, tell me why every single dictionary I posess (including the OED) contains that spelling and do mention "suped-up" as a spelling at all? The only place I ever see "suped-up" is within the online ramblings of the semi-literate. M0thr4 11:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The claim is very much incorrect. The earliest uses available are all "souped-up", not "suped-up" or "supped-up". There is also a question of whether the term originates from "supercharged" or from "soup" (for "a secret concoction"). Since it appears to have been used in reference to horses before engines, the latter may well be the correct etymology, but it's by no means certain.

 * It gives the appearance of "to supercharge" as 1919.
 * The AHD (via answers.com):
 * No etymology is given other than [Slang; c. 1930].

None have an entry for "to supe up" and neither do they list it as a variant or synonym. Interstingly, "to hop up" also has both a drug sense and a performance enhancement sense.

All of this seems to discredit the analysis by Partridge. — Hippietrail 20:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

— Hippietrail 8 July 2005 08:12 (UTC)

 * The current on-line version of the OED lists a quote for soup from 1909 (antedating 1911 above). I have not been able to confirm the Online Etymology Dictionary claim of 1921 for "soup up", but I do have several references from 1925 to 1930. Interestingly, the earliest of these is a September 1925 ad in Popular Mechanics that refers to an airplane engine, not a car. It is not at all clear which usage came first, but "soup" for horses predates both by over a decade, as does "souped up" for "drunk" in US Navy publications.
 * — Alex.deWitte 06:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

It is "souped-up" according to The Oxford English Dictionary of Slang (1998, p392 with an origin of US 1931) — M0thr4 11:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * A couple of minor points--OED 3 also has the 1931 as the earliest citation in the current version. But Oxford dictionaries under no circumstances propose that the earliest citations point to "origin" or "earliest use". Instead, they are earliest available/known sources that may be updated at any time (except for the rare instances when the actual origin is known). In this case, it is clear that the asserted "origin" is at least a decade too late. But if by "origin" you mean that it was originally used in the US (which is what "orig." means in the OED), than it's appropriate.
 * — Alex.deWitte 06:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the etymology for two reasons. First, it appears to be a copyvio, though I can't tell offhand whether it's a direct quote of Partridge or a paraphrase. Second, Wiktionary, being a secondary resource, should rely directly on primary sources (i.e., actual citations), and not merely crib research from other secondary resources without verifying it. If we are able to verify an etymology, then we can publish the information used directly. In either case, reference to another dictionary is neither needed nor appropriate. -dmh 17:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Whatever the reason for initial removal, the "second" claim is false or simply inappropriate. The OED is standard for this type of work and Oxford dictionaries don't just cite other dictionaries but they actually list the citations among the source quotes. For example, under soup-up (verb), it has the following citation:

 * 1933   C. K. Stewart Speech Amer. Airman 92   Soup Up, to supercharge.

 * Under the "miscellaneous uses" of soup (noun), the OED has two citations, both from dictionaries:

 * 1891   Cent. Dict.,   Soup, a kind of picnic in which a great pot of soup is the principal feature.
 * 1909   Webster's New Internat. Dict. Eng. Lang.,   Soup, .. any material injected into a horse with a view to changing its speed or temperament. Racing Cant.

 * "Cribbing" is certainly inappropriate, but citing the source and comparing multiple sources should cause little concern.
 * — Alex.deWitte 06:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

It appears the BBC prefers "souped-up": "The driverless vehicles range from souped-up SUVs (sports utility vehicles) to hi-tech dune buggies." BBC Online, 8 October 2005

Possible Great War (1914-1918) origin
One of the most notable British aircraft in use during the Great War was the Sopwith F.1, commonly known as the Sopwith Camel. It went through several different incarnations and there were as many as six different engines that were used in the plane. What was arguably the most efficient one for the purpose of the plane as an air combat fighter was made by the French Gnome manufacturer: The Gnome Monosoupape 9B-2 and the 9N. "Monosoupape" is French for "single valve". The designer of the plane, Thomas Sopwith, is recorded as saying that the engine was "one of the greatest single advances in aviation". Despite contemporary accounts that tell that the plane was notoriously difficult for inexperienced pilots to fly safely, the plane proved to be one of the most effective warplanes of the Allies during the war, especially the variant with the Gnome engines. It would not be surprising to learn that its name had somehow entered common language of the time. The Military tends to create slang to describe things. Does the term have some origin in the British military of the time - especially the "new" airborne weapons - because the Camel was effectively "souped-up" by the use of the Gnome Monosoupape? It's perfectly credible to me, and there's no difficulty understanding the "soup" spelling. All that might be conjecture, because other than the use of the engine in that plane, and its performance etc., I have no proof that's what happened. But to me it's at least as plausible as, if not plausible than, the other attempts to explain the origin of the term. Twistlethrop (talk) 04:39, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:datum

English
I'm not kidding about the plural "datums" it seems peculiar to surveying, and I'm dithering over how best to note this. In the mean time here's an Introduction to Geodetic Datums by by Peter H. Dana, Department of Geography, University of Texas at Austin, 1995.

Note that this usage is countable, in contrast to the usually derided (yet overwhelmingly prevalent) uncountable usages such as "this data shows ..." -dmh 02:26, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A definition must identify a phenomenon without errors of inclusion or exclusion, and be as intrinsic as possible. The term datum must not be take as an appendix to information, since it composes the concept of information and, as such, cannot be taken as the whole, while being a part of it.
 * A definition on Wiktionary must be written in grammatically correct English, and ideally should be understandable. A definition that cannot be understood has no value as a definition. --EncycloPetey 08:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I am seeing it (in technical literature) as a verb: i.e., "datuming". Kortoso (talk) 23:10, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Latin Noun
I was wondering if this Latin definition is real? Isomorphyc (talk) 12:52, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * has “That which is given, a present; a debit.” with seven citations. I believe it. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 13:01, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I appreciate it; I don't have a copy of OLD here, but it turns out to be in De Vaan too from Plautus forward. Isomorphyc (talk) 13:05, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * You're welcome. The OLD has the Plautus citation, which it presents as “non suppetunt dictis ⁓a Pl. As.56”, which, expanded, becomes “non suppetunt dictis data Titus Maccius Plautus  56”. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 13:22, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks; I've added this quotation. Isomorphyc (talk) 13:59, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Plautus is technically Old Latin (itc-ola), but in the absence of an Old Latin entry, a quotation from him is far better than none at all. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:07, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks; unfortunately our periodisation in Latin is a bit of a muddle. Isomorphyc (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 16:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

 * By `in the absence of an Old Latin entry...,' did you indeed mean you would like to treat Old Latin as a separate language? I could possibly understand doing this for Ennius, but less so for Plautus.  My largest personal cavil with our periodisation is that we do not normally distinguish Golden Age and Silver Age vocabulary and usage, that the LL. and ML. labels are often omitted, and that occasionally reconstructions make their way into Latin entries.  Isomorphyc (talk) 18:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

 * I understand what you mean now. FWIW, Old Latin is treated as a separate language on the English Wiktionary; we had a vote on it. Old Latin has the code itc-ola ( It ali c [the language family] + O ld La tin), whereas Classical Latin onward has the ISO-639 code la. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:55, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

RFV discussion: June–July 2022
Rfv-sense: "A measurement of something on a scale understood by both the recorder (a person or device) and the reader (another person or device). The scale is arbitrarily defined, such as from 1 to 10 by ones, 1 to 100 by 0.1, or simply true or false, on or off, yes, no, or maybe, etc." This is extraordinarily specific and I believe it may be supplanted by the much more general definition "; a single recorded observation" which I just added. Is there evidence to support such a specific definition, perhaps in a certain field of endeavour? This, that and the other (talk) 03:16, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The two non-philosophy definitions are arguably subsenses of a better-worded definition. MWOnline has "something used as a basis for calculating or measuring". The "arbitrary scale" part is silly, as are the specific examples of scales. DCDuring (talk) 15:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:political conservative

Meaning
To the person who changed this entry: I suspect that you're trying to make the point that the term "conservative" has been widely applied to positions that aren't conservative in the strict sense. This is true, and this is reflected in the entry for conservative.

On the other hand, I'm not sure the definition I gave here is completely accurate, either. I believe there are people who classify themselves as "politically conservative" and adhere to the values given, but it doesn't take much digging to find it used to mean (US) right wing or (US) Republican. Sort of like hacker, really. -dmh 03:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Correct. The present definition isn't remotely accurate.

 * Moreover, I'm sure OP was well-meaning but this is just SOP and we should simply do a better job with the definitions at conservative, not try to move the footballs and goalposts around in the hope people get bored before they see how absymal our current political treatment is. — LlywelynII  10:44, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I have to agree, both that the definition is poor and that it seems SOP. (I mean, US political conservatives were the ones who supported interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan! The 'definition' is just a snapshot of policy positions [some] political conservatives may have held at one time, but it's like defining "politically conservative" as "supportive of [insert particular politician here]"; a definition that actually captured the underlying meaning rather than a snapshot of the trappings would be...SOP.)

RFD discussion: May–June 2022
See talk, where it was pointed out already in 2005, and again today, that the definition is wrong and the term is SOP. (I made a longer argument there.) - -sche (discuss) 17:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  19:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: it's literally just an alternate form of "conservative".
 * Is it? One can be a fiscal conservative, yet favour a major change to the political status quo, such as replacing a presidential autocracy by a parliamentary democracy. --Lambiam 06:48, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Which highlights a problem with defining fiscal conservative as "[...] wants to decrease government size", if one could want to add a parliament(!), and many do expand military or police size and funding... A problem with political conservative, I think, is that any definition of a snapshot of positions some held at some time exists alongside the other possible definitions, e.g. there may well be cases where "(US) political conservative" means "opposed to foreign intervention" as our entry says, but there are also cases where it denotes the people who supported US invasions of Iraq, Granada, etc. A definition which captures the meaning and not just a snapshot of trappings is . . . "one whose political activities or aims are [those of a] conservative". And the things that get described as "political[ly] conservative" are also described as "conservative", so that's probably where to discuss any differences between conservatives who actually oppose changes to traditions vs conservatives who want or make even radical changes to society (these are usually promoting some alleged tradition, even if it did not exist). (For example, someone pointed out on a talk page that I can't offhand locate that Nazis made many radical changes to society and yet are conservative and right-wing...) - -sche (discuss) 21:33, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that the definitions are subpar, and getting them up to good lexicographic standards is nontrivial. The issue we need to decide is whether political conservative simply means “conservative with respect to political issues”, or has an idiomatic meaning. My contribution was meant purely to contest the statement that ‘it's literally just an alternate form of "conservative"’, which, IMO being untrue, is not an acceptable rationale for deletion. --Lambiam 06:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. The definition is US-centric (and inaccurate anyway), but the primary reason is that "political conservative" doesn't carry any special lexical significance, as it's the default association with the term "conservative". The existence of terms such as fiscal conservative have no bearing on this, either. Theknightwho (talk) 19:55, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

jener

Etymology
From, from , from , from.

Pronoun

 * 1)  that, that one

Usage notes

 * In formal writing, jener is not an uncommon word. It is used when the antecedent stands relatively far away from the pronoun, particularly if another word that could be the antecedent, is closer. Compare:
 * Der Erfolg der Firma bei der jüngeren Zielgruppe beweist, dass jene sich verändert hat.
 * The company's success among the younger target group proves that it [i.e. the company] has changed.
 * Der Erfolg der Firma bei der jüngeren Zielgruppe beweist, dass diese sich verändert hat.
 * The company's success among the younger target group proves that it [i.e., the target group as opposed to the company] has changed.

 * In speech, jener is generally rare; in colloquial speech it is even completely avoided (except possibly in some fixed expressions). Instead, one uses forms of and stressed forms of the definite article as demonstrative pronouns, without there being a clear semantic difference between these two. This means that colloquial German does not systematically distinguish between “this” and “that”. When necessary, such a distinction can be expressed by means of the adverbs  and  or : der Mann hier und der Mann da / dort; dieser Mann hier und dieser Mann da / dort (both meaning “this man and that man”)

Talk:collective noun

I am not sure whether collective noun is a catagory, but there is a huge list of them as pertains to groups of animals which could be listed here in a related words section. Thoughts on whether or not this would be appropriate? TheDaveRoss 04:49, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't want to see what is listed in the English Wikipedia article here; but it is, please add a separate listing for the different meaning used there, from what there is in the brief definition now existing in the article here, barely enough to tell that it is different.

 * Compare, for example, the entry under "collective noun" here at The American Heritage® Book of English Usage:
 * "Some nouns, like committee, clergy, enemy, group, family, and team, refer to a group but are singular in form. These nouns are called collective nouns. . . . Collective nouns always refer to living creatures. Similar inanimate nouns, such as furniture and luggage, differ in that they cannot be counted individually. That is why you cannot buy a furniture or a luggage. These nouns are usually called mass nouns or noncount nouns. They always take a singular verb: The bedroom furniture was on sale."
 * Totally different from what is talked about at Wikipedia's collective noun, isn't it? Gene Nygaard 29 June 2005 02:05 (UTC)

Collective nouns vs. Mass nouns
"Collective nouns" are fundamentally different from the noun variously known as "mass nouns", "non-count nouns", and "uncountable nouns". Though the terms are often confused by those unfamiliar with English linguistics, the term "collective noun" is never a synonym. Please check the definitions in the following online sources:

Wikipedia:
 * Collective noun
 * Mass noun

Collins word exchange:
 * Collective noun
 * Mass noun

Merriam-Webster online:
 * Collective - see sense 1
 * Mass noun

MSN Encarta dictionary:
 * Collective noun
 * Mass noun

— Hippietrail 29 June 2005 02:12 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia article deals with words like "murder" (for a group of crows), "pod" (for a group of whales), etc., and it deals more with trivia than with linguistics. The others deal with words like "family" and "team", as does the one brief definition currently given here in Wictionary.  Completely different meanings, or at least much different from each other than the meaning given here is from the meaning given in Wiktionary and these other sources including Wikipedia under "mass noun" (at least the ones I checked, a couple of those links timed out on me without establishing a connection).

 * The definition used in the other references outside Wikipedia, as so clearly stated by the American Heritage one, are synonyms of mass noun. Not exactly the same thing, but synonyms, very similar meanings.  That meaning of "collective noun" is a subset of "mass noun", which can be applied in reference to animate objects as well as inanimate ones.  Of course, even if you looked at them as mutually complementary terms, with pretty much the same meaning but one applied ONLY to animate objects and the other applied ONLY to inanimate objects, they'd still be synonyms.

 * That's the whole purpose of including lists of synonyms; to be able to find a word or term which more precisely fits what you want to say. It took me a long time to think of the term "collective noun" when I started a somewhat related discussion on Beer Parlour.  That's why I cross-referenced these synonyms, to help others who might have the same problem.  Gene Nygaard 29 June 2005 02:41 (UTC)

 * See also this websit Terms of Venery related to the primary synonym of "collective noun" as used on collective noun and do your little Google searches for the exact phrase "term of venery". Gene Nygaard 29 June 2005 03:12 (UTC)

 * As far as I can tell, the two are not even particularly close in meaning. E.g. sand is a mass noun and not a collective noun, family is a collective noun and not a mass noun.  Collective nouns can fill the blank in "a ... of", while mass nouns cannot fill the same role (you could say "a sand of particular abrasiveness" or whatever, but that's obviously a horse of a different color).  Synonyms can generally be substituted freely for each other, in at least some senses, with only small changes in meaning.  Substituting collective noun for mass noun in "Sand is a mass noun" changes a true sentence to a false sentence (strictly speaking this doesn't prove the point, but I don't believe there is any combination of senses in which the two are freely interchangeable).

 * As to following links and finding useful words, this is what "see also" is for. -dmh June 29, 2005 04:17 (UTC)

 * By the same token, I wouldn't necessarily list "term of venery" as a synonym. Not all collective nouns are terms of venery.  I don't believe car would generally be considered a synonym for vehicle. -dmh June 29, 2005 04:26 (UTC)

Talk:rain cats and dogs

old discussion
The usage note is fine, but really it applies to any weather term (and to a broader class I can't put my finger on). E.g., it's raining, it's snowing, it's hailing ... -dmh 04:54, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Those are called impersonal verbs (Wikipedia). I'm pretty sure I've seen another term along the lines of "weather verb" too but that's less formal I'd say. — Hippietrail 15:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Ta. Sounds like a category to me ... -dmh 15:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome and I agree 100% with the category idea. I added a bunch of other types of verbs over at verb if you're interested. — Hippietrail 16:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Good stuff, and obvious directions for future work (which I will have to forego in favor of real work) -dmh 17:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It would be very helpful, especially when learning a new language, to know the transliterations, not just the translations, of the comparable foreign language idioms. This should be a valid heading. -- 216.234.56.130 21:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't rain but it pours
Is this not also an English idiom synonymous with "It's raining cats and dogs"? __meco 16:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * No, I don't think so. The idiom "When it rains, it pours" has nothing to do with atmospheric precipitation.  The idiom ...cats and dogs always refers to atmospheric precipitation.  --Connel MacKenzie 16:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * You're clearly right. It was my not remembering the precise wording of that idiom which brought on my confusion. __meco 17:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I wonder if we should have a note about the obvious confusion for English learners though. Some might (rightly) say that all idioms are confusing...but these imply they are related, when they are not.  I wonder if we have a specific way of addressing situations like this?  --Connel MacKenzie 17:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Etymology
The ultimate etymology of this idiom is unknown. There are many other theories that are more likely than the example. Should we list them all,or merely note that it is unknown? DeeKenn 17:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

 * It'd be fun to try to list them all, otherwise "Etymology unknown" would get very repetitive. Conrad.Irwin 17:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Etymology (again)
I found a site which lists some possible etymologies for this phrase. --BiT 01:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

RFM discussion: February–March 2020
It can "rain cats and dogs", "pour cats and dogs", or be, there can also be a , on rare occasion it can even "leak cats and dogs". Given how we've shortened idioms in other cases (e.g. "of one's word", "way out of a paper bag"), should this also be moved to "cats and dogs"? (I don't have strong feelings about this, but it does seem like there'll need to be an entry at "cats and dogs" to cover the other usage I mentioned, and consistency would suggest just moving the lemma to there.) Any translations that can't be shortened can be kept with qualifiers, IMO, as on other entries like "of one's word" (see also the Tea Room discussion that made me think of this). - -sche (discuss) 17:26, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If passes the jiffy test (i.e., predates the other forms), it should be kept. The others seem like they could easily have been derived from it, and rain cats and dogs is the only form I'm familiar with. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 01:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Ditto. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:18, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Pinging, who's participated in a lot of discussions about what portion of various idioms to lemmatize. Should we, by "jiffy" logic, partially reverse previous RFMs like the one about (man) of one's word, and have double entries at of one's word and man of his word? (I see another "partial idiom" I was able to think of, way out of a paper bag, already came up at RFC as being kinda problematic.) (See also Requests for deletion/English which was redirected to to the bone.) - -sche (discuss) 15:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I suppose I've come around and now fully accept the 'jiffy test' arguments. Let's call something like cats and dogs a reduced form of rain cats and dogs and assume that rain cats and dogs was the first common expression that used the idiomatic cats and dogs. IMO, it would make sense to have an entry for rain cats and dogs and one for cats and dogs. All the expressions that involve synonyms or plays on rain should not be lemma entries or alternative form entries, with perhaps the most common being hard redirects. I don't know that there are any expressions of the form '[VERB] cats and dogs' that would be worth even a hard redirect, nor can I think of any straightforward rule for making the inclusion decision.
 * Reduced form entries are often not very intuitive. One can only hope (but hope in vain) that a first search for an expression like 'snow cats and dogs' will lead a user to the entries for rain cats and dogs and/or cats and dogs. But having entries for all attestable expressions of the form [VERB] cats and dogs seems silly to me and is probably of very low importance to Wiktionary users.
 * The general problem involved includes our treatment of expressions of metaphors, some of which are much less lexically straightforward than '(rain) cats and dogs'. BTW, one can find uses of 'rain kittens and puppies'. (I would have thought snow kittens and puppies would be better.) DCDuring (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I would have redirects for the common alternative verbs, or else how will someone searching for them find the content? (And since e.g. "pour cats and dogs" is unlikely to ever host any other content besides something related to this idiom, I see no problem with a redirect, and it's cheap.) I'm still on the fence about applying "jiffy" arguments to RFM, but I concede this would often have the side effect of making it easier to host translations, when another language can't shorten an idiom (e.g. remove a verb, stripping it to the adverb-like part) like English and/or en.Wiktionary can. - -sche (discuss) 23:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 * OK, besides cats and dogs and pour cats and dogs, which already existed, I have created come down cats and dogs and storm cats and dogs, and then cats and dogs to handle remaining phrases like a downpour of cats and dogs, sleeting cats and dogs, etc. - -sche (discuss) 21:29, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
