Talk:mush

Do we really think these senses have separate etymologies? -dmh 17:12, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably not all three, but I wouldn't be surprised if "mush!" to get sleigh dogs moving is a borrowing from an eskimo language and not at all related to mushy peas. — Hippietrail 04:28, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Possible, but all the senses seem onamotopoeic to me. We'll have to look it up some time. -dmh 19:13, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes and that's just what this category was designed for. To call attention to articles which may need to have etymology sections split or joined. — Hippietrail 23:57, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 *  American Heritage thinks that the dogsled one probably comes from French, and the mushy peas probably come from the word mash (mashing into mush?). They aren't certain about either, which raises doubts about our ability to be certain in the near future.  Given that, I'd say that they tentatively qualify as seperate lineages until evidence shows up to indicate otherwise.
 * OK, that's certainly good enough for me. -dmh 05:20, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

From Angloromani mush (“‘man’”), from Romanian murš, from Sanskrit (manuSya), “‘human being, man’”).
 * From Angloromani mush (“‘man’”), from Romani murš, from Sanskrit (manuSya), “‘human being, man’”).

 * Entirely correct objection; I've fixed that. Curiously, the word itself was correctly tagged as "lang=rom", i. e., Romani, but the language description had "ro", which is Romanian. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:sow one's wild oats

Does this really apply only to males? I thought the meaning has been expanded to both gender's promiscuity. --Connel MacKenzie 17:55, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * The (ahem) broad sense looks generic (e.g., "sow her wild oats" gets 341 google hits, the first few of which, at least, look good), but the narrow sense is clearly male-only. For comparison, "sow his wild oats" gets 2200 hits. -dmh 19:21, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Fixed, more or less. We're still missing out the somewhat subtle connotation that one sowing one's wild oats is expected to settle down later.  It's a phase you generally get out of your way when you're young or perhaps after a breakup, but it's not a long-term lifestyle (or if it is, it stops going by that name at some point) -dmh 19:26, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks - much better. After reading your explanation here, I get why you had the mention of Divorce.  How about "(connotes a passing phase)" instead?  --Connel MacKenzie 19:46, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

snapdragon

Etymology
(1570s) From, from a fancied resemblance, especially by playing children that the flower is a dragon that opens its "mouth" when squeezed on the sides. Compare for this sense the etymology of 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. An ancient name was. For the parlour game sense, the 1704 Swift quotation is apparently the earliest appearance in print.

Other animal-based names for the flower are common; compare and.

Noun

 * 1)  Any plant of the genus, with showy yellow, white or red flowers.
 * 2) * 2000, Margaret Roberts, Edible & Medicinal Flowers, New Africa Books (The Spearhead Press), page 72,
 * The snapdragon is indigenous to Europe and has been a much loved garden plant since before the Middle Ages, when it was considered an antidote against witchcraft.
 * 1)  A game in which raisins are snatched from a vessel containing burning brandy, and eaten; the substance snatched and eaten during the playing of the game; the vessel used for the game.
 * 2) * 2014,, When Sparks Fly, , unnumbered page,

First I will be going though all the kana indices and reformatting them so they are uniform and clean. If that's ever finished, I hope to revamp the kanji indices to make them more specific to Japanese.

Talk:dope

Usage
I think there should be some mention of the confusion between pot and heroin. Pot is called dope by politicians, heroin is called dope by drug users (and last time I checked, they are not the same thing!) Since both are slang, how should that distinction be spelled out here? --Connel MacKenzie 22:06, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * the original meaning of "dope" in drug use was heroin, and it's rooted to the "stupid" meaning, i.e. as a derisive term; its extension to pot was entirely political, as also to the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport, though it came there via the use of the term in horse and dog racing. In my view, the phrase "doping in sports" is intentionally POV by its creators, though all the wikipedia articles on the subject use it; but it's POV because the sources are POV, and also their POV is based in the deliberate confusion of the term as you've described above.Skookum1 17:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems that dope-meaning-viscous-liquid (especially a sauce or gravy) has been around since the early 1800s. It seems that dope-meaning-opiate has been around since at least 1888, and that the term originally arose because opium, when prepared for smoking, is a viscous liquid. It seems that dope-meaning-simpleton arose sometime between those two meanings, having been around since at least 1851. Source: Dave Wilton, "Dope," Wordorigins.org (5 January 2009). There is no explanation as to why pot, or any non-opiate, would be called dope. allixpeeke (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Note per Opium Wars that they took place c. 1840 and c. 1860 respectively; i think the trade those wars promoted would inspire adjectives, e.g. dopey, re psycho-motor retardation in India's laborers in that time-frame. (There's a great story about a doctor new to India being surprised to observe his old-hand colleague prescribing enemas to laborers based on no more physical examination than simply looking behind their earlobes. The peek was to see if there was goop there, from storing their opium there when not actually chewing it. Don't know where it's documented (medical literature?) but i've heard it told twice, decades apart). --Jerzy•t 14:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * As i note in a lower section of this talk page, i like the hypothesis of a derivation from, --> , --> both and . It would IMO be valuable to know more solidly if dope, a person, preceded or followed the adjective dopey (which neither wikt nor Wilton covers). I can picture the noun for a person being a back-formation from the adjective, perhaps much later than ; esp. so since going directly -->  seems like a big leap. Also, we have (presumably) "grog" (rum) --> "groggy" (hung-over), "itch" --> "itchy" and perhaps (Dutch) "log" --> "logy", all of which would closely parallel dope (opiate) --> dopey.   Could it be that English coinages occurring in British India left a sparser linguistic record than those in English-as-a-first-language countries? --Jerzy•t 14:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Both Connel's and Skookum's credulity about the ability of "politicians" to shape the language is for me quaintly touching. Politics runs on the individual gut hopes and fears people have about their needs; politics is the art of personifying a collection of illusory hopes and fears that add up to a license to push people around. --Jerzy•t 14:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * So you (Connel) think that when drug users speak of "smoking dope", they all mean smoking heroin??? Rather, i should think that any smoking of heroin is a brief interlude before shooting H (and losing interest in smoking it), and that the vast  majority of references to "smoking dope" refer to pot. (Which reminds me of pot liquor ... which apparently means "marijuana tea" much less often than i imagined. So don't let me pose excessively as a drug expert!)  In any case, last time i checked, politicians and drug users were kinda the same thing. --Jerzy•t 14:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Dope-as-heroin
this is the original drug meaning (see previous) and should be spelled out; from Aleister Crowley's time and before, "dope" meant heroin or opium; it only became applied to other drugs with the criminalization of pot...it's also not used for all narcotics - cocaine, crack, speed etc, only for opiates and pot.....Skookum1 17:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I always speculated that parents, afraid that their kids might be "using dope," befuddled the matter by not understanding that dope refers to opiates specifically. But, that is mere speculation on my part.  allixpeeke (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

 * I found an article from 1983 in a campus newspaper where a student uses the word dope about a dozen times to refer to marijuana. I dont see any evidence that it's a clever pun or that we're supposed to be thinking about opiates the whole way through, but perhaps I missed something.   Anyway I grew up thinking it was only for marijuana, so I wonder if there's some sense evolution going on.  — Soap — 19:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I should have bookmarked what I found last month. Anyway I found another one now ... I've decided to add marijuana as a new sense, reword the heroin sense to cover other opiates, and put them both as subsenses of a single definition. — Soap — 23:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Found and added both quotes now. We talked above about sense evolution, but perhaps this sense has already fallen out of fashion? — Soap — 05:49, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I was wrong about the date of the invention of heroin, but nonetheless, Green's Dictionary of Slang agrees with what our definition looks like now, and also mentions that it can mean a drug in general, which might help explain how the sports sense got started. I've never heard dope as a noun in the sports sense, only as a verb, but it could exist. Other things that can be called dope according to Green are coffee, butter, cigarettes, Coca-Cola, and whisky. — Soap — 08:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Dopamine
Might some of the newer senses have arisen as a shortening of dopamine? — Soap — 16:22, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Pronunciation here is American-only
The pronuncation given is purely American - a drawled diphthong based in a schwa; not sure about Britain or Australia, but in Canada it's a straight, un-diphthongized [o] (kind of like Homer Simpson's "Doh!") Skookum1 17:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Illicit?
Wether or not Heroine is illicit depends on the jurisdiction, as it's currently written illegality is implied. Zoef1234 19:53, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Good point. If heroin is delegislated, the term dope won't ipso facto suddenly cease referring to heroin.  It refers to heroin regardless of heroin's status of legality.  We should probably fix that definition.  allixpeeke (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Dope meaning "information" still considered slang after nearly a century of use?
Dope's meaning as "information" is marked as 'slang', but is used to mean information since as long ago as the 1930's (for example, appearing in Amazing Stories serials). At what point does the 'slang' notation get dropped?

 * I always thought it meant, not information per se, but inside information, like scoop. In any event, it seems that this usage goes back further than 1930, to at least 1899 (Dave Wilton, "Dope," Wordorigins.org (5 January 2009)). allixpeeke (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed! I've heard the opiate sense (one of the above sections) before as derived from the goopiness of an opiate preparation, and perhaps in the same place, heard that "the straight dope" is the accurate information about which race horse has been given dope -- not clear to me whether
 * to make it dopey and slow, or
 * to reduce pain from an injury and thus improve the jockey's chances of eliciting a performance better than what track-frequenters have seen in recent training or races.
 * --Jerzy•t 10:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The term "slang" refers to in-group speech. It has nothing to do with age. An expression can essentially remain limited to a certain subculture forever, and never enter the mainstream – instead, it could die out before that could happen, and in that case it would become obvious that it would never cease to be slang, regardless of how long ago it was first attested. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 02:54, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Firearms sense: separate etymology?
Some sources say this is an acronym for "data on personal equipment", but I'm not sure I believe it: sounds a bit too pat. If it is true, we should split the etymology. Equinox ◑ 16:05, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Etymology of dopey?
Norwegian "tåpe" and Swedish "tåpig" are incredibly close in both pronounciation and meaning to a "dope" or being "dopey". At first glance you'd assume they're derived from the same source. The words stem from the Old Norse "tæpr", and after developing into a word for a silly or dumb person it's been in use in the Nordic languages for quite a while.

I haven't found more than the one source cited on this page for the etymology of dope and dopey, and felt like this deserved a mention considering.

(Not that surprising but unrelated similarities don't happen, often, but there's also major precendent to Old Norse and Old English traded words.) 158.174.187.56 17:38, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Category talk:Metasyntactic words

Why the term "metasyntactic"? I can sort of see an analogy with "metasyntactic variables", but the best guess as to the etymology of that term is that it was mainly used because it sounded cool. Mind you, I can't think of anything better at the moment. -dmh 17:12, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes that's where I got it from. A couple of years ago I started compiling a list of these words for Everything2 and asked a resident linguist if there was a name for them. He couldn't think of one so I chose the best-fitting term I'd come across. As you see in the category article, Wikipedia uses "cadigan" right now but that has no better historical standing. — Hippietrail 23:53, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Are they not simply a type of pronoun? --Surturz 00:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * In fact, I would say they are quite definitely colloquial indefinite pronouns --Surturz 00:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

How does "foobar" or "FUBAR" fit this definition? --Tormod 13:12, 13 Oct 2006 (?TC)

 * After a bit more thinking, I see more problems.
 * No one else uses the term "metasyntactic" in this sense. People either use kadigan/cadigan or placeholder. I think we should switch to placeholder as that's what wikipedia uses (see w:Category:Placeholder names and Placeholder name).
 * This isn't a topical category (it contains placeholder terms, not terms for/about placeholder terms) so it should read "English ...".
 * Therefore I think Category:English placeholder terms is the best. --Bequw → ¢ • τ 21:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

相槌

Noun

 * 1) Customary signals made during a conversation to indicate comprehension or attentiveness; backchannelling.

Usage notes
相槌 refers to a custom in Japanese culture wherein it is considered polite and necessary to indicate while listening that you are in fact listening. This is usually done through terse comments (such as "I see"), affirmative grunts and other noises, and gesticulations, such as a slight nodding of the head. While it is common to do this in the U.S., it is not as clearly defined a custom. Thus, it is not generally considered impolite when a person doesn't make 相槌, and there no single word to describe it.

Derived terms

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 Bernardmoon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bernardmoon~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.

Talk:photograph

How do you say?

You can see the flower... or ?
 * ...on the photograph.
 * ...at the photograph.
 * ...in the photograph.

This should be remarked in the article (phrases)

Definition of photgraph
Maybe this is technical, but is a negative considered a photograh, or only the finished print? also, the old skool definition of a photograph, originally phosautograph, was an image described by light. The image need not be fixed, as in a camera obscura. If we include fixation of the image in the definition, a Digital Image ceases to be a photograph, because an image never permanently exists on the sensor. Consider the similar action of light upon the retina, which we do not consider to cause photographs in our minds (because they are not fixed). I propose removing mention of digital imaging and including DI as its own entry. 65.78.27.60 04:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Wiktionary attempts to describe how language is actually used, rather than provide technically correct or even logical definitions. That is more the role of Wikipedia. Most people use "photograph" to refer to any stationary image, no matter how captured, processed, and reproduced. DCDuring TALK 11:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Use on Twitter
A slang usage I just encountered on Twitter suggests that "meme" is being used to refer to tweets, or the process of sharing information concisely in short messages. How widespread is this?

Definition 3
"(Internet, slang, loosely) A quiz or survey that is copied from one webpage or online journal to another, each participant filling in his or her personal answers."

I have never ever ever in my ever ever life seen the word "meme" used with this meaning. Perhaps it's a very new meaning or is only used in an incredibly limited sphere, but the only usage I've seen on the internet for the word has been with reference to internet memes and, thus, an extension of definition 1. Further, on looking at the sources it seems that the only place the word is actually used with definition 3 this is on LJ. 124.169.220.73 14:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * We have three citations, enough to meet WT:CFI, and none of them comes from LJ. They are from unrelated Internet newsgroups. Equinox ◑ 18:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Even though I know an anonymous comment on a discussion page is about as valuable as a Deutsche Mark, I feel compelled to add that this usage has seen gradually growing popularity on social networking sites (in particular, Facebook), and has been spreading beyond journalblogging circles for quite some time. It's probably not quite as widespread in use as "survey" or "quiz", but it's often used synonymously with that concept.
 * I have never heard of a meme being a quiz until today when I read it at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meme. I have spoken English all my life, live in the United States, and use the Internet all the time for fun and otherwise. --75.71.229.53 05:02, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Internet intransitive verb: to joke around. "I thought you guys were just memeing." Distinct from the other intransitive verb sense, to create and use memes ("the left can't meme"). Equinox ◑ 11:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Have you really not encountered the sense given in the usage example before or are you just memeing?
 * Debatable if distinct. I think it is misdefined, it does not merely mean “joking” in the example, but denotes a current multi-layered, or  manner of engaging in debate where one takes a stance just so it is there, or maybe a form of exaggerating a point or strawmanning, so one gets asked: Did you really mean it like that or were you only memeing? I would define (and I wanted to add it once with some examples before I saw by the example the sense is already there): To behave not with strict seriousness, to make expressions as a homage to a meme, to do things “for the meme”. Or perhaps a more general definition would be appropriate: To adhere with one’s behaviour to a meme (because before it says: to create and use memes). Fay Freak (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Hey I'd never seen this before. Thanks Kiwima, good job. Fay Freak, I dunno what to say except that this is not a use of the word that I was familiar with. Equinox ◑ 03:34, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

As an adjective
The third definition contains two examples, and the first of these is clearly showing an adjective. I've never seen the definition pinned down, but if someone could locate some examples, that would be excellent! 167.248.96.196 21:44, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

lean, mean
I have always been wondering what the expression "lean, mean" is. I couldnt find it in any dictionnary. What does it mean ? Thanks, Nicolas.
 * It just the use of two adjectives, as in "He is a lean, mean, fighting machine" = He is a lean and a mean fighting machine. Hope this helps. Leasnam 15:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

to lean outwards?
What does this mean exactly? Sounds bizarre to me. Tooironic 01:23, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 * It's been changed to "hang outwards". I still don't see how it differs from sense 1. Equinox ◑ 17:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

leaned: sometimes /lɛnt/
normally pronounced /liːnd/ but sometimes /lɛnt/ --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:34, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Not as far as I know. The second pronunciation is leant only, in my experience. Equinox ◑ 17:58, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Carolina lean, Cali lean, California lean, Tennessee lean
US slang for a kind of truck modification that raises the front end and lowers the rear. Commonly found online, but not in Google Books. Also called the. Equinox ◑ 16:25, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
