Talk:bite

"Bite me"
What does this mean exactly, and what is its etymology? Lupin 01:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure of its etymology, but I'm pretty sure it means "screw you", "get lost", "I don't give a damn, now get out of my face", etc. I think the term is it is used now is derived from when it used to mean fellatio, not sure. 24 01:23, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Being "pretty sure" then guessing about the meaning is not helpful. Maybe you can put it back when you can add a knowledgeable article about it. Eclecticology 02:17, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
 * What do you have against me? I'm not claiming to be a professional. This is the best I can define and I don't see anyone else helping. >:|
 * I do not think Lupin was asking for advice on how to define the word for a definition, but just out of curiosity, so what's the problem? 24 21:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nob
I'm changing this, in the French section, to knob, since I kinda doubt that "a place, north of Jerusalem, whose inhabitants were massacred by Saul" has anything to do with dick. If I'm wrong... change it back. :) Ric | opiaterein 23:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

missing verb sense
I think we are missing that verb sense along the lines of "Gee, you bite a lot don't you?", i.e. you overreact when people take jibes at you... but I'm not certain. ---> Tooironic 02:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Bite=Plagiarize?
I have certainly never heard the use of "bite" to mean "plagiarize". I am certain that the definition as given is incorrect, since the example given is transitive, but the definition states that the sense is intransitive. 163.231.6.66 21:39, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Missing sense? "Okay, I'll bite."
Someone drops a hint, leading to an obvious question, and the other person says "okay, I'll bite" and goes ahead and asks it. Image of a fish taking bait. Closest to the "fall for deception" sense, but not quite that. Equinox ◑ 21:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Easy-to-grasp metaphor, as you say. I'd bet that the "fall for deception" sense was an effort to memorialize some uses of the metaphor. But live metaphors don't sit still. One approach might be to generalize the "fall for deception" sense to make it more clear that it is a metaphor of general application and extensibility. See also take the bait, which 'Cambridge Dict of Amer. Idioms defines "to accept something that was offered to get you to do something". DCDuring TALK 00:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

RFV discussion: May–October 2012
Rfv-senese: (informal) To bite a woman's pudenda. WTF? Sound it be shot on sight? ---> Tooironic (talk) 09:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It does seem like a bad definition because it uses the word bite which has a lot of definitions. Citations demonstrating distinctness from the other definitions sounds like a good idea. Would it be something like "he bit her" where the vagina/labia are implied but not actually stated? I dunno. I'm willing to assume good faith and give it a full 30 days but I concede there's a solid argument for deleting it outright too. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:56, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The trouble is that there are plenty cases where "bite" implies a body part that isn't stated. We talk about vampires biting people, with the usually unsaid implication that the bite was on the neck, but "To bite a person's neck" would be an odd definition of bite. Looking through Google books for sex scenes that include the phrase "he bit her" (without an explicit body part) finds examples where the unstated body part is the shoulder, the ear (possibly?), somewhere that is below the waist but explicitly not the genitals and the foot, and I'm pretty sure if I kept going I could find for any body part, a book in which is a woman is bitten on it sexually without it being explicitly stated. I don't see why being bitten on the genitals deserves a distinct mention from being bitten anywhere else. Smurrayinchester (talk) 12:10, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Searches for "bite pudenda", "bite the pudenda" get no hits in Google, "bite a pudendum" gets 1. "Bite a woman's pudenda" gets only Wiktionary-related hits, of which one on a Swedish website and another in China. Let's kill this before the disease spreads. --Hekaheka (talk) 07:27, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't forget that pudenda is at least partly a euphemism here, so you would need to search using the terms it substitutes for if you want to do a realistic check of usage. You have two different registers here: the sense of bite we're looking for is fairly vulgar and pudenda is rather clinical- I doubt you'd see them together much in the wild Chuck Entz (talk) 08:25, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It may be an euphemism, but if a definition raises more questions than it gives answers, it should be at least reworded. What the heck does "bite the pudenda" mean? Should it be understood literally? Is it an invitation to do a cunnilingus? We should not have riddles as definitions. --Hekaheka (talk) 21:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Must be the coffee talking -- suddenly I had visions of an ambitious (and completely mad) project to rewrite all of Wiktionary into riddle format. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 22:18, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This must have been intended to cover the sense of used in . I never thought of that as gender specific. As me is not the only possible object ("Bite this", "Bite my ..."), we really could use a non-gloss definition of bite. Isn't this only used in the imperative (and in reported imperative "I told him to bite me"). We should have something similar at . DCDuring TALK  23:08, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

This looks like it should be listed as a translation under PLC and also listed in "Types of companies" page off the front page. Translations really aren't supposed to be under foriegn language entries (but I can see why they did it here under the abbreviation - it is a bit confusing.) --Connel MacKenzie 02:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * They're not quite translations, each country has different rules... they're analogous terms. But PLC itself isn't the "English" term, it's the England term. 70.51.8.75 08:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

The rfc asks "translations or related?" for the "See also" list in the entry of selected abbreviations of legal entity names for various countries. It seems to me that we should have an appendix for these that each individual entry could refer to in its "See also" section. I would also think we should have Latin/Roman spellings, whatever the original script, whatever the result of the more general decision about romanizations and transliterations. There are likely to be standard romanizations that are broadly agreed/accepted in international commerce. DCDuring TALK 16:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Mixed senses
Verse is defined as a poetic form with regular meter and fixed rhyme. But some poems are also written in verses and stanzas. Will it therefore, be correct to say, with reference to a poem, for example, "note the shift in tone between the first verse and the second?"

ff.

Etymology
Abbreviation of, ablative of.

Phrase

 * 1) and the following (pages, paragraphs etc.)

Usage notes

 * The abbreviation is used in citation to refer to a section for which no final page number can usefully be given. If there is only a single section following,  may be used instead.
 * More properly, it is still used, as originally, to refer to the next page or pages in a citation. As such, Hornblower 258 f. would refer to pages 258–259, whereas 258 ff. would refer to an undetermined number of pages following page 258.

Talk:かたな

かたな and 刀
 Gliorszio, please explain why you've reverted to the previous version. I don't think it makes sense to maintain two entries--かたな and 刀. It's better to have the definition, etc., at one entry, and have the other point to it. The standard practice for comprehensive English-language Japanese reference books (and Japanese reference books in Japanese, as far as I can tell) is to use the 漢字 as the main identifier for the term.

 * 「片名」 does not exist.―Gliorszio 04:09, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * (1) It's in my 電子辞書, the meaning being something along the lines of pseudonym, alias, and nickname. It's also a place name.
 * (2) That doesn't explain the rest of the reversion, that only explains why you got rid of the second item.

Some notes:

 * I am an administrator and bureaucrat.
 * When I am around, I am usually reachable on Wiktionary IRC(help). So are many other Wiktionary sysops, contributors, and all-around bright, friendly people all over the world.  Drop by sometime and say hello.
 * This page doesn't get updated very often, but I do sometimes write in my blog.
 * I have hugged several Wiktionarians, which I note here because I tend to enjoy meeting us, even though we are very spread out.

Etymology
From Dvorak (an alternative keyboard layout) + qwerty (a standard keyboard) + girl (hey, that's me!), because I type on a qwerty keyboard with a dvorak keyboard map in software.

Background
I live in Santa Clara, California.

I have long been fascinated with language, words and meaning, and more recently, with education, open source, and the dissemination of thought. May my contributions assist you in your quest for knowledge (or simply your crossword puzzle)!

Present Preoccupations

 * Images. While I don't count myself a great photographer, I do have fun uploading photos and linking others' photos into Wiktionary articles.  We don't lack for space, so there's no reason why articles like onomatopoeia, aftermath, train wreck and handle with kid gloves shouldn't include suitable images.
 * Audio. English is tremendously variable in the way it assigns sounds to letters, and audio is simply more accurate and more accessible than IPA or SAMPA.  Compare beard, bead, and bread.  More words that don't have obvious pronunciations include knight, malign, impugn, indict, pneumonia, psychology, anything containing "ough" (through, thorough, cough, slough, bough, hiccough) and everything in Category:English heteronyms.
 * Idioms and idiomatic usage. I have worked with a number of new English speakers and this seems to be a sticking point.  Hence, I have tried to catalog idioms with examples in context.  For an example, see related terms section under put.  Idiomatic usage is something native speakers take for granted, that we walk over to the store or stand in the rain rather than, say, under it.  It's another stumbling block, best cleared with examples and practice. I hereby dedicate my work in these regards to everyone trying to learn the screwball language that is English, and especially to C. and V., who would never have asked me the meaning of wishy-washy had it been obvious.
 * Interjections. Wow!  These words are weird (and therefore interesting).  They are also frustrating to learners, since they are not a particularly regular part of grammar and they are seldom discussed in classes.  Oh boy is for V, too.
 * Grandiloquent words, mainly for my own personal amusement. I am a verbivore, to borrow a term from author Richard Lederer.  If you think you know everything, or just like weird words, look up omphaloskepsis, defenestrate, or infundibulated.  Yes, there's a word for that!  Some of my more recent favorites from other Wiktionarians include absquatulate and tergiversate.
 * Offbeat or just fun, juicy words. See squelch, kablooie, and cha-ching.  Also, unusual uses for words and euphemisms.
 * Music, a language unto itself.
 * Technical jargon. What can I say?  I am an engineer and live in an engineering community.  The stuff seeps unbidden into the psyche and the conversation.

Languages Known
Excellent English, serviceable Spanish, a very little Greek, and a degenerating, pitiful and rusty tidbit of American Sign Language.
