Talk:rake

Does "rake klappen" belong on the English definition page?

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense jut out (ship’s bow or stern above keel)

Uhm... The portions of the hull on either end extending beyond the keel are the rakes, but that's a noun. A verb sense is to place out of square or out of plumb, especially at an acute angle, such as the bowsprit or masts which are often raked back or up (or, in some rigs such as the junk, raked forward). There's also the nautical sense of canonading so the shot ranges in the direction of her whole length (similar to enfilade, only afloat). (Overhangs/counters might be described as rakish as well, implying strength or speed, but I think this sense is pretty much wrong.) - Amgine/talk 21:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

 * RFV failed, sense/section removed. —Ruakh TALK 13:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Definition 6 is entirely nonsensical.

Talk:boy

Hebrew
Regarding the Hebrew entry: In my opinion, the link should be made from the word itself, not from its transcription. This is how all other non-latin scripts are dealt with, isn't it? Unless, of course, there is a bidirectionality-related problem here which I fail to see... T42 17:09 Jul 13, 2003 (UTC)

Connotations
The connotations here are tricky, and I'm not sure how best to deal with them. I'm tempted to mark it for cleanup -dmh 04:38, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. — LlywelynII  13:59, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Definitions don't really cover it...
Seems like the definitions don't really cover the usage, IMHO. Generally, at least in the English I've encountered, "boy" means a younger male, but it might be used to talk about men in a way that makes them seem more familiar or younger. Not sure what the term for this is, but it might be diminuitive, like a nick-name.

It's also sometimes used to mean "son" as in "he's my boy". Maerk 00:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Loogie Awards muck-up
is certainly a notable use of the phrase but it's been heavily mythologized.

Modern Aussie sources tend to claim the term is innocent in Australia and Newton awkwardly/deftly extricated himself from seeming offensive to an aggrieved to over-the-top Ali. In fact, as the other cites show, it has a loong history in Australia and New Zealand (in fact everywhere else in the Commonwealth) and Newton wouldn't've said it among aborigines even at the time. Instead, it was a catchphrase of an ad Newton was in and he was being cheeky, playing the two senses against each other. If Ali wasn't already part of a script, it was his gentle lifelines that saved the situation from the powerful offense the rest of the room took on his behalf.

It belongs here... but under the offensive sense Newton toyed with and actually keyed up, not the innocent one he feigned. It is, in fact, an excellent example of the term becoming something too offensive for polite company. — LlywelynII  13:59, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

RFC discussion: January 2015
(Turkish) Etymology 1 and etymology 2 are exactly the same. — Ungoliant (falai) 14:22, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Usage notes
Its easy to spot nonnative speakers when they use boy incongruously ... I remember working one job in a heavily touristed area and being asked "do you hire girls here, or just boys?" His accent was flawless but I knew right away he was from Eastern Europe. I want to help English learners but I cant keep on typing up stuff like this and expecting it to stand unchallenged. Still, maybe somebody somewhere has written up a usage guide telling English learners the ins and outs of the overlapping meanings of words like boy, guy, and man, which to use as a term of self-address and which one for other people. It's surely less complicated than e.g. Japanese with its sixty-odd pronouns, but still complicated enough that I'm sure someone has considered it worthy of a usage guide. — Soap — 12:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I am still interested in this ... I was a lot less sure of myself when I wrote this three years ago ... but I still dont really know what to write. — Soap — 10:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Object boy
In a recent discussion with others I found some people (including myself) use boy to mean thing, like "I went to the store and picked up a frozen pizza. That boy cost me five bucks.". I feel like this usage is common enough for cites to exist but I wouldn't have any myself. -- Mocha2007 (talk) 01:41, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Here are some non-citable examples detailing the usage I'm referring to:
 * This boy cost me $500 better throw it away (referring to a console)
 * That's one icy boy (referring to an icepack)

Unfortunately the other senses make it hard to find usage in this sense. -- Mocha2007 (talk) 01:59, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Similar in use to guy then. The second usage looks like a reference to  the "who would win?" meme, which uses "one (adjective) boi" or "some (adjective) bois"  .... unless that use is itself a reference to some other meme.  I dont know how much trust we put in memes, but the first usage looks like part of the standard language and thus something that's here to stay.  — Soap — 00:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * bad boy is often used this way. Equinox ◑ 01:19, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

French derivation
The Middle English dictionary at this URL states that boy is a loanword from French. Ive seen this etymology before, but we dont list it. Even if it's now seen as less probable, should we at least mention it? — Soap — 10:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Etymology 1
From a Late Middle Chinese pronunciation of, which lenited coda to.

Usage notes
Generally believed to have been pronounced as, based both on internal evidence and the Chinese etymon. Old Korean and  both merged unconditionally into *-l in Middle Korean, but the two phonograms were consistently distinguished in Old Korean until the late thirteenth century. Because Old Korean reconstructions are conventionally romanized using their Middle Korean reflex, the phonologically erroneous reconstruction *-l is often used as a shorthand.

Usage notes
In Middle and Modern Korean, the allomorph taken by the accusative marker after a vowel may be instead of, especially in formal speech. This is the result of reduplication of the particle and is unlikely to have been present in Old Korean, although the phonologically opaque nature of the orthography makes it difficult to tell for sure.

In "Middle Old Korean", the late first-millennium stage of Korean represented by about a dozen mostly eighth-century poems, the accusative particle was consistently written with the phonogram. has become dominant by the twelve poems of the tenth-century monk Gyunyeo, however, and is virtually not attested at all by the second millennium. There seems to be no semantic difference involved. Whether this represents a phonetic shift or simply a change in orthographic practice is unknown, although and  had differing Middle Chinese initials.

Etymology

Noun

 * 2)  The flesh of these marine molluscs eaten as food.
 * 3)  An organization that has many powerful branches controlled from the centre.

Usage notes

 * The plural is a hypercorrection, coming from the mistaken notion that the  in  is a Latin second declension ending. The word is actually treated as a third declension noun in Latin. The plural  (Latin: ) follows the Ancient Greek plural, . The plural  is based on an incorrect attempt to pluralise the word based on an incorrect assumption of its origin, and is rare and widely considered to be nonstandard.
 * Sources differ on which plurals are acceptable: ' asserts that “the only acceptable plural in English is ”, while and other dictionaries accept  as a plural form. The ' lists, , and  (the order reflecting decreasing frequency of use), stating that the last form is rare. The online Oxford dictionary states that the standard plural is , that  is still occasionally used, and that  is incorrect.
 * The term (both  and  can be found as the plural) is taken from the taxonomic order  but has no classical equivalent, and is not necessarily synonymous (it can encompass any member of that order). The uncountable use of  is usually reserved for octopus flesh consumed for food ("He ate too much octopus last night.").

Etymology
From late 17th century. , from. Displaced native 🇨🇬,.

Pronunciation

 * By early November, the sheets of HUCK FINN were being forwarded for binding, and within a week or two it was discovered that the illustration at page 283 had been altered in the master plate to make it appear as if Uncle Silas was exposing his penis. Twain would be amused to know that this may be the first time the word "penis" has ever been used to describe the alteration to this plate; the euphemisms and delicate phrasings employed by previous bibliographers to avoid stating the obvious are impressive.
