Talk:chopstick

I've removed "מַזְלֵג סִינִי m" from the Hebrew translation since I was told on the Hebrew Wikipedia that it is a description in Hebrew of the English term "chopstick". The remaining term here is the Hebrew term for "chopstick". — Hippietrail 09:36, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Chinese character in Vietnamese translation
The Chinese character should not be included with the Vietnamese translation, as such characters have not been used in Vietnam for nearly a century. It should, however, go in the etymology section of the actual entry for the Vietnamese word. Why is the Vietnamese word in quoc ngu two words, but the Chinese character only a single character? 71.66.97.228 18:15, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Barmy Army

Etymology
An English football chant, in which supporters of a team would chant that they were the team manager's "barmy army", was applied to a particularly "barmy" group of supporters who followed the English cricket team to Australia in 1994–95 despite the team being seen as having little prospect of success.

The origin of "Barmy Army" was based on a soubriquet by Leeds United supporters for Howard Wilkinson, the team manager during the late eighties and early nineties. He was known as Sergeant Wilko - a skit on Sergeant Bilko, a well known comedy character portrayed by Phil Silvers a couple of decades earlier, but still at the time on TV. Sergeant Bilko's army became Sergeant Wilko's army, the barmy bit was added because it's Yorkshire and it makes a good chant. It was picked up by other teams, whereupon the Sergeant Wilko bit was dropped. Then by cricket people. The tune is the same though.

Proper noun

 * 1)  An organised group of cricket fans which arranges touring parties of its members to follow the English cricket team on all of its overseas tours.

Dear John letter

Etymology
While the exact origins of the phrase are unknown, it is commonly believed to have been invented by Americans during World War II. Large numbers of American troops were stationed overseas for many months or years, and as time passed many of their wives or girlfriends decided to begin a relationship with a new man rather than wait for their old one to return. As letters to servicemen from wives or girlfriends back home would typically contain affectionate language, a serviceman receiving a note beginning with a curt "Dear John" (as opposed to the expected "Dear Johnny", "My dearest John" or simply "Darling" for example) would instantly be aware of the letter's purpose.

There are a number of theories on why the name John is used rather than any other. For starters, John was a common name in America at the time. John is also the name used in many other terms that refer to an anonymous man or men, such as or. Further, there existed prior to World War II a radio programme starring Irene Rich which was presented as a letter written by a gossipy female character to her never-identified romantic interest. It was both titled and opened with the words "Dear John", and may have contributed to the genesis of the term.

Noun

 * 1) A letter from a wife or girlfriend to her husband or boyfriend, informing that the relationship is over, often because the writer has initiated a relationship with someone else.

Translations

 * Dutch: Lieve Jan-brief

Talk:ведение

I just noticed that the page веденіе now redirects here. I can't find out if "веденіе" is a true obsolete spelling of "ведение". As mentioned on Talk:Веденіе, it gets a number of Google hits, mostly on pages which use other obsolete Russian spellings and/or letters. I can find more evidence that "вѣдѣніе" was a pre-1928 spelling but that leaves me unsure as to whether "веденіе" is a hybrid or mistake since according to Wikipedia, both "і" and "ѣ" were abolished from Russian in the same reform in 1918. Anybody got any ideas? Stephen?

If "веденіе" is not authentic the redirect should be deleted. If it is authentic, it should be added to "Alternative spellings". — Hippietrail 22:49, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

 * The answer is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reforms_of_Russian_orthography
 * "вѣдѣніе" = "knowledge"
 * "веденіе" = "leadership"
 * The 1918 reform caused both words to move to the new spelling and become ambiguous. This suggests that they also have separate etymology. If that's the case we need to "Etymology" sections, each with an "Alternative spellings" section with the right pre-1918 spelling.
 * Does anybody have a Russian dictionary with etymologies or perhaps knowing the equivalant words in another Slavic language might help. — Hippietrail 01:53, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I wish I had something with Russian etymologies, but I don’t unfortunately. However, I did indicate the two different verbs (ведать vs. вести) that each of the nouns were derived from. Beyond that, I can tell you that вести (to conduct, direct, lead) is ultimately from PIE *wegh- (to move), and thus is related to English "weigh," "wiggle," and "way." The word ведать (to know, to be in charge) comes from PIE base *woid-/*weid-/*wid- (to see, to know), and therefore is related to English "wisdom" and "vision." —Stephen 08:07, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks Stephen. I only saw that you indicated the different verbs after I'd written my comments here sorry. I guess my eyes aren't as tuned in to dictionary nuances while I'm at work! And I'd really love a pre-1918 Russian dictionary or even an Old Church Slavonic one... — Hippietrail 13:09, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:coast

HTML comment left by Hippietrail:
 * Actually, the verb sense derives from Old French usage, where it could mean 'side of a hill' (indeed, I believe it could mean similar things in archaic English, but I'm not sure). Thence came the idea of 'coasting down the side of a hill'. I don't know if you want to add that to the etymology or not. --Wytukaze 00:30, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
