I am familiar with the show, I haven't seen it used in this manner though. - TheDaveRoss 04:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I've used it that way, colloquially. Not finding any print citations though.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 19:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Mmm. I have used it too, but I think it is now rather dated. Perhaps mark it as slang and dated? Andrew massyn
 * Definitely remember this use of the term. Might be dated, but I've heard persistant rumors of an impending MacGyver movie... bd2412 T 04:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It's used in this context in the dialog of the first episode of Stargate SG-1 (taken from Wikiquote: Samantha Carter states "It took us 15 years and 3 supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.") fwiw - Versageek 15:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, some people definitely use it:. And I know I've heard it used. --Lord Voldemort 20:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

All claimed to be informal terms for a personal computer. — Paul G 16:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC) I've never heard of the other two. Fark 11:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Requested senses
From Requested entries
 * comp has three additional definitions that are not included on the page.
 * 1.) In the design field, a comp is a preliminary design, sketch, or mockup, short for comprehensive, synonym with dummy. We showed the client the comp. May also be used in verb form: comp, comps, comped, comping: We will comp it for the client. She comps ads for a living. I comped the web page. He is comping the layout. Are you sure this is short for comprehensive? I can't get the verb meaning for it.
 * 2.) In visual design and photography, a comp is an image composed of multiple separate parts. It is especially used as a verb in image manipulation, to add elements to an image: He comped in our product on the photo of the table. She comps furniture into photos well. They are comping elements into the photo using Photoshop. This seems to be short for compose; composite; composition.
 * 3.) In publishing/prepress/printing, a comp is a colour separation file which contains all of the colour information, and can be printed either as a combined file, or separated individual colour plates. Short for composite.
 * Here are some web pages which show comp's usage:
 * http://desktoppub.about.com/library/glossary/bldef-composite.htm
 * http://psdtuts.com/photo-effects-tutorials/how-to-photo-comp-up-a-killer-room-full-of-objects/
 * Kevyn 01:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I have tried to get this, but I am having a little difficulty because we treat these as abbreviations and I'm not sure that is the best way to handle them, especially the verb uses. I'm not sure I understand what "comp" is abbreviating as a verb, especially where the corresponding noun sense is "comprehensive". DCDuring TALK 23:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A contributor suggested composite instead of comprehensive for sense 1 above, which gives the possibility of "compose" or "make into a composite" for the verb sense. DCDuring TALK 02:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * This makes all three definitions seem quite close. DCDuring TALK 02:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

compare
a very old DOS file command was comp, meaning compare, used to show if two files were the same. It did not show the difference between the two files, only saying if there was one. I think this may have been the first DOS command to fall by the wayside and it was already little-known in the 1980s. Nonetheless it exists, might be used in other OS's too, and may also mean compare in other senses. — Soap — 10:19, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Now that i look into it, this command may be so old that it dates to the time when people used 5" floppies and were constantly worried about physical imperfections in the disks that made file copying unreliable. it wasnt so much "did i mistakenly save the same file twice?" as it is "hey, did these files i copied actually get through okay?" Very old indeed. — Soap — 10:21, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We do have compare listed as a sense on comp. (with a period), which I believe is for a sense totally unrelated to computers. Possibly the same as cf. in dictionaries. — Soap — 10:26, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * We don't include computer command names unless used in running English, though. Hence no entry for "chkdsk" (check disk) or "rmdir" (remove directory). If they were used as verbs, "I'm rmdiring this", then we could. Equinox ◑ 10:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. It might have been used as a verb the way diff now is, but it's so old I think it'd be far more trouble than it's worth. — Soap — 12:27, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

screw the pooch

Etymology
1950s, from earlier (1935) (compare ), later sense of “make an embarrassing mistake” (compare, ). Popularized by use by in The Right Stuff (1979), and film adaptation The Right Stuff (1983).

The term was first documented in the early "Mercury" days of the US space program. It came there from a Yale graduate named John Rawlings who helped design the astronauts' space suits. The phrase is actually derived from an earlier, more vulgar and direct term which was slang for doing something very much the wrong way, as in "you are fucking the dog!" At Yale a friend of Rawlings', the radio DJ Jack May (a.k.a. "Candied Yam Jackson") amended this term to "screwing the pooch" which was simultaneously less vulgar and more pleasing to the ear.

The term, however, did not enter the popular lexicon until Tom Wolfe used it in his book about the space program, The Right Stuff, where it was used to describe a supposed mistake by astronaut Gus Grissom.

The phrase's origins come from an old joke. There are various versions, but a drunk man ends up shooting the wife and screwing the pooch (instead of the other way around).

Verb

 * 1)  to make a large mistake, to fail in dramatic and ignominious fashion.

Translations

 * Esperanto: fleksiĝi
 * French: tout foutre en l'air
 * Portuguese: meter a pata

 * Spanish: meterla hasta el corvejón,, , regarla

Talk:jinkies

Please don't take this entry off the site! I ended up here when searching for the origin of the term "By Jinkies" which was often used by my father when I was growing up. I have learnt that the word "Jinkies" was used a lot by Velma in Scooby Doo, which is a good start, but doesn't go back far enough. It would be really good if someone knew where it actually originated from. I suspect it is slang, but it was certainly in common usage in the 1950s and 60s. Suzi

 * Possibly related to ? Equinox ◑ 15:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Regarding Scooby Doo: see also zoinks and its etymology. It's not mentioned in this entry (yet). Equinox ◑ 18:33, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Found (newspapers.com) the phrase "by jinkies" used in an "Ella Cinders" newspaper comic strip from 1936, said by a character named "Bull." Specific reference found was Montana Butte Standard (Butte, Montana), Tue, Sep 29, 1936, Page 11. So the phrase at least goes back pre-1940s. Found "jinkies" used as interjection in a couple of "Big Sister" newspaper strips from 1960. Also, in the 1948 movie "A Date With Judy," the Judy character (played by Jane Powell) says "Jinkies!" twice, once in a scene with Scotty Beckett's "Oogie" character and once in a scene with "Carol," portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor. Wonder if it was used on the radio show?2601:482:4400:FD1F:E1EC:B06D:D01B:7133 18:49, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:inside

Seems to me this entry is missing the sense of 'private party', or 'privileged' but I don't know how to add such a thing. inside job, insider, etc.

From RFC

 * "From: WT:RFC"

This one's an important word but doesn't have too good a definitions. Personally, I don't feel like doing it right now. — Vildricianus 21:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC). I added a couple of senses on the talk page, but don't feel qualified to edit the entry. (Peter V)

 * I've cleaned it up a bit and killed the tag, but I thought I'd give folks a few days to look it over and comment. It's a hard word to define, I think because it's such a fundamental concept.  Check out other dictionaries and what they have to say on the word.  Even the glorious OED stumbles through it.  If you're not happy with it, please reinstate the tag, but give specific critiques of the word.  Thanks.  Cerealkiller13 07:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Preposition?
Just for sake of clarification, is this word also a preposition? It is synonymous with "within"

Talk:spread

"noun: spread (plural spreads)

1. Shortform of beadspread."

Shouldn't that be "bedspread"? I'm not a native speaker, so I could be wrong, but I have never heard of a beadspread.

 * It should be breadspread as well. --Connel MacKenzie 18:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Request for verification
Rfv-sense: To put one’s legs apart.

That would be intransitive. Isn't this just ellipsis of what is being spread, and doesn't only apply to legs? Furthermore it definitely shouldn't be the first definition even if it is valid. I think it's an allusion to a woman spreading her legs, so it might be a childish joke.
 * The butter and jam sense also sounds totally wrong, I'm not sure if that even merits an RFV, I think it should be outright removed. Indeed, basically all the definitions need to be in more fluent English. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:14, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The leg sense is transitive, and should omit "legs", I suppose, and be reworded, but is correct and otherwise lacking. The butter and jam sense is also badly worded but correct and, also, otherwise lacking (and should be split into at least two, exemplified by "I spread my toast with jam" and "I spread jam on my toast"). — msh210 ℠ 19:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't the bread and jam one just the transitive verb 'spread' with jam as the direct object? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:58, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It is, of course, but which sense of "spread" do you think it is? Maybe "To divide something in a homogeneous way"? Even if so, that's only the "spread jam on my toast" sense, not the "spread my toast with jam" sense. — msh210 ℠ 16:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that this affects the RFV, but I have to ask: would you really ever say something like "I spread my toast with jam"? To me that sounds very British (though the corresponding passive construction, e.g. "the table was spread with food", sounds merely formal). —Ruakh TALK 18:44, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I personally? Certainly not. I was merely recognizing its existence. — msh210 ℠ 18:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * re: spreading legs, I've heard in movies before something like "OK, bitch, spread 'em", which means "open your legs so I can fuck you" -- Rising Sun talk? 18:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Even, "OK bitch, spread" is very attestable -- Rising Sun talk? 18:53, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That phrase has a total of seven Web hits, all of which have direct objects, and no Books or even Usenet hits on Google. Where are you finding attestation? — msh210 ℠ 16:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't want to move too fast, but Can't resist your sexy ass Just spread, spread for me (I can't, I can't wait to get you home) --Rising Sun talk? contributions 10:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I remember Tori Amos uses it intransitively in the song "Me and a Gun" ("Yes I wore a slinky red thing / Does that mean I should spread / for you, your friends / Your father, Mr Ed?") It makes sense to me, though it sounds slangy, and I guess it's fairly rare. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 16:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a good cite, added. Slightly more tasteful and poetic than the Outkast quote -
 * And one more from Martin Amis, It looks like an excellent book --Rising Sun talk? contributions 10:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, this seems well-cited now...I've expanded the verb entry a bit, marked this as intransitive and removed the tag. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 14:21, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:organism

The definition states, "A discrete and complete living thing (creature, plant or any other biota) that is composed of organs." This isn't entirely correct. Take an amoeba, for instance. It is an organism, but is not composed of organs. A more accurate definition would be, "An individual form of life, such as a plant, animal, bacterium, protist, or fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."

 * That does seem much more accurate. Please create an acount, and Be Bold.  --Connel MacKenzie 19:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
