Talk:box

Am I right in reading that the vulgar definition of 'box' is attributed to 'african-american' slang? because when I was in college in 89, that was the whitest-of-white-boy phrases for the young ladies. My friend's incredibly racist white fraternity even had t-shirts that read simply, "BOX." On the converse, I've never heard 'box' in african-american slang (not that i'm an expert).

 * I strongly agree. One of these days, when I get bored (in my copious spare time,) I'll search "AAVE" here on Wiktionary, then remove 9/10ths of them.  It's as if someone searched "vulgar" and tagged everything they found with "AAVE."  --Connel MacKenzie 06:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Boxing etymolgy
The ancient Greek word pyx means fist.

The same word was used for a fist and a small box (i.e. one like a closed fist).

Pyx, pux, pyg, pug... words in ancient Greek all have the same root, fist - Pygmy for example was originlly a measure of length from the knuckles to the elbow.

The Latin speaking Romans seeem to have adopted the pyg/pug variant for pugilism, but exchanged the p for a b in pux to make bux the origin of our box - a container - except in the still current word pyxus which is a small box for containing holy wafers in the Christian church.

Steve Ainsworth
 * Our word to box comes to us from Middle English, which meant to "beat or whip (an animal)", derived from the noun "a stroke delivered with a weapon", "a blow of any kind" which doesn't really imply hitting with the fists as we see in boxing today. So a connection to Greek appears to be remote, if not coincidental ? Leasnam (talk) 16:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * What is the possible Proto-Indo-European origin of "box" meaning "blow"/"stroke"? 98.123.38.211 04:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

box
"(transitive, Jamaica, African American Vernacular) To punch (a person)" redundant to "to strike with the fists". I originally just added to the context labels, before I realized it's just the same sense twice. Was gonna speedy it but I'm not qualified to merge the translations.

 * ✅: merged. - -sche (discuss) 05:24, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Does this not need a usage note of some kind? In Englishes other than those mentioned above (e.g. British English) I don't think you would box a person (unless perhaps fighting them in the boxing ring): you would only box someone's ears. Equinox ◑ 14:32, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

wagon-box
Chambers 1908 has wagon-box, meaning "the carrying part of a wagon". Might be SoP, or not: we have a dated sense of box meaning the part of a carriage where the driver sits, which is pretty much the opposite! Equinox ◑ 10:18, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

RFD discussion: January–February 2019
Computing sense: "An input field on an interactive electronic display; a text box." The given citation uses the phrases "dialog box" and "text box" but never "box" alone. Really it just means a rectangle, no different from a "box" on a paper form, e.g. applying for a passport. I think this is a case of trying to get a bit too specialised when it isn't necessary. Equinox ◑ 10:20, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Incidentally, a dialog box isn't an "input field" at all, so that bolded part of the citation is wrong. Equinox ◑ 10:21, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I agree that the definition is not good, but a separate graphical user interface sense may be in order, as seen in these cites:, , . Only in the first is it clear that this concerns an input box. Here is an attempt at a definition:
 * A relatively small rectangular area on the screen of an electronic device such as a computer or a smartphone, possibly located in a window or presented on top of any windows, intended for communication with the user, such as a text box, dialog box, check box or list box.
 * Admittedly lengthish, but the def should exclude windows, which are also rectangular areas on a screen intended for communication.

 * That seems so narrow. "Usually located in a window" etc.? Why not have a sense for the box where you sign on a paper form for your passport? "A small rectangular area, usually printed in ink on a form, in which a human being is intended to write...": it's still just a damn rectangle. Equinox ◑ 12:55, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

beyond (a/the shadow of ) a doubt
https://www.wordreference.com/definition/doubt --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Doubt can be confusing when followed by a negative
“I doubt whether the company will not do it” merely states that the writer thinks the company will do it. --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:44, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * when doubt is in the affirmative it implies uncertainty in the following clause (which is consistent with use of whether/if ), whereas when it is used in the negative it implies probability in the following clause (which is more consistent with that). This rationale lies behind the objection many people have to the increasing use of doubt in the affirmative followed by a that-clause or by an object clause without a conjunction. This is commonly regarded as an Americanism. --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:30, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:sarsen

Sarsen, if broken into two words, sar and sen, has an interesting and deeper meaning. Sar of course is a unit of 3,600 years, and sen is another word for sun. Given sarsen's primary definition as a type of stone in Southern England, then this etymology of the word may add significant meaning to the stones - perhaps in their use.

Stonehenge is in Southern England. One can successfully makes the argument that the stones making up Stonehenge could be called sarsen stones. If this is the case, then the riddle of Stonehenge is easily solved. Stonehenge is an astronomical / astrological clock whose builders built to observe and track the 3,600 year sar, the solar year, and perhaps the moon's 28 day and 19 year cycles. However, because of its northern location, it was rebuilt around 800 years later to adjust for the planet's rotational precession. Then it was abandoned. Credit goes to Zecharia Sitchin for this insight.

Phonetics / IPA Needed:

 * 1) An IPA resource is needed here.  Some symbols,such as scha and ash (/ә/ and /æ/) require me to cut-and-paste from a word processor, while /ʒ/ isn't even available there and must be taken from other articles.  There should either be a phonetic symbols button, a set of well-publicized codes to created them, or at the very least, a public page from which they may be cut-and-pasted.
 * 2) Some words are transcribed in a very strange ways.  I wonder if these were taken from Webster 1913, as the phonetic system has evolved substatially since them.

Talk:Chinese

Person born in China
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "a person of Chinese descent"? --Dijan 20:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

"Chinese characters"
Dictionaries I've checked don't seem to recognize the definition of the noun "Chinese" as "Chinese writing system". And, Stephen, use talkpages if you can't be bothered with proper edit summaries.

Peter Isotalo 13:24, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * My revert button does not provide for edit summaries. Chinese also means Chinese writing. —Stephen 13:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The term "language" includes both spoken and written forms, so the argument would be applicable to all other languages, but here at en.wiki it seems to be applied only to languages that are somewhat exotic to Westerners. The example "The document was written in German" hardly justifies the specific inclusion of "German alphabet" as a separate definition of the noun German.
 * Peter Isotalo 14:21, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The English language doesn't work that way: it is full of all sorts of inconsistancies, with their own logic. "Chinese" can perfectly well refer to the writing system, as it does, while "German" does not. It has something to the writing system being different and unfamiliar to English. The expression "it's all Greek to me" isn't referring to the Greek language, it is referring to the writing. (Note that neither Han characters nor the Greek alphabet are exotic to us, but they are to the ast majority of the speakers and users of English, which usage is being described. Robert Ullmann 14:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "Chinese" alone is no more precise than "German" or "English". It refers to the writing system in the context of the terms "Traditional/Simplified Chinese (characters)". This is quite obvious from the example used in the article. Without the "Traditional/Simplified" qualifier the example would only mean "It was written in Chinese (rather than Hungarian)". There's nothing in such a sentence that indicates that it could not refer to something written in, pinyin, Wade-Giles or other forms of romanization.
 * I don't see how the use of "Greek" (analogous to "pardon my French") is applicable, though. Why would it refer only to writing?
 * Peter Isotalo 15:09, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * In the phrase "it's Greek to me" the word Greek refers to the writing. In the phrase "it's in Simplified Chinese" the word Chinese refers to the writing. Usages of the word with the defined sense. Full stop. Robert Ullmann 15:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The phrase "it's Greek to me" can refer to anything that is inexplicable or mysterious to the speaker, which may be anything from writing to abstract concepts like Semiotics. There's no need to make separate entries for "writing", "spoken words", "academic disciplines", "sports", etc.
 * Since "language" very clearly covers the meaning of "Chinese" in set terms like "Simplified/Traditional Chinese", I can't see the point of setting aside a separate definition for it. There has to be tons of other examples of terms where "Chinese" would be used to describe a very specific concept. A good example would be whether it means "of the People's Republic of China" or "of Taiwan". Not to mention all the communities of over-seas Chinese... Does that mean that every minor context-specific nuance needs a separate dictionary definition?
 * Peter Isotalo 15:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Translation of the English word "Chinese" into Simplified Chinese

 * 中国的
 * This refers to anything associated with China.
 * 中国人
 * This refers to the Chinese people alone.
 * 汉语
 * This is the language that was historically spoken by the Han people.
 * 普通话
 * This can be either translated as Standard Chinese or as Mandarin.
 * 中国话
 * This refers to the language spoken in China. It can be contrasted with 韩国话，which is spoken in Korea.

Chinese
"The logographic writing system shared by this language family." Kappa 13:51, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Chinese is used for the characters and set of characters all the time. For example, http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/chinese/ uses it mainly in this sense. Another is http://www.appliedlanguage.com/languages/simplified_chinese_translation.shtml. I owned a Chinese translation company for quite a few years (Far East Language Service, Dallas), and when we used the word Chinese, we were usually talking about the writing system. —Stephen 15:21, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Why would "writing system" not be included in the concept of "Chinese language"? Are we going to provide separate definitions for all languages or just the ones that don't (always) use Latin scripts?
 * Peter Isotalo 15:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I have, as usual, no earthly idea what you’re talking about. Chinese language can mean one dialect of the spoken language at one point in time, or it can mean any of nine or more dialects, or it can mean across a large span of time, or it can mean the written language as a matter of semantics, or it can mean a subset of the written language, among other possibilities. Every word has its own meaning. One word does not necessarily limit or delimit another. We are going to provide separate definitions wherever we find the need for separate definitions. —Stephen 16:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Separate definitions for every imaginable script? Perhaps we should. Perhaps we should also add to zebra "the meat of this animal", just as on chicken. We should add to insect "a type of this animal", as in different insects, just as we list on fish to distinguish plural forms. We should also add to rolled "the state of that which one rolls" as we do on frozen. But for the time being we make special cases when special cases are warrented.
 * If anything it would seem that there aren't enough definitions listed for Chinese. Comparing with English (and WTF is a proper adjective?), it seems we're lacking "one's ability to employ the Chinese language" and "the Chinese-language term or expression for something". DAVilla 19:30, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "simplified Chinese": The language wasn't simplified. The writing system was. So "Chinese" must refer to the writing system. Robert Ullmann 16:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems strange that definitions that are so obvious to a couple of wiktionarians appear to be completely absent from other dictionaries. To me it looks like the explanations provided are based on personal interpretation of material. Does the inclusion of words in compound terms always mean that the those individual words take on separate definitions?
 * Peter Isotalo 17:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Proper noun
The definitions are poorly written. Wyang (talk) 09:41, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I strongly agree. It causes the entries to share the unhelpful confusion of most dictionaries and to make an utter hash of the translations.

 * Overall, there needs to be a division of the entries and their treatment that roughly matches the Chinese translations given above: We want to parse "Chinese" to mean "anyone from China or of Chinese descent" but a 3rd generation Tibetan Australian isn't really what we were trying to say with that lazy gloss.

 * Really, for people, there is (A) one sense involving generic Chinese citizenship regardless of ethnicity. Most people will just automatically gloss that as those under the PRC umbrella, while many locals, every local official, and most careful outsiders will realize it really covers a "Greater China" inclusive of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. What "Chinese or Chinese descent" is trying to articulate is (B) a second sense involving Han Chinese ethnicity, whether government stamped or self identified. It makes some sense to cover different aspects of Chinese ethnicity—e.g. local born "Han" and overseas "Hua"—in one translation group with some distinguishing glosses. It makes zero sense to roll the 56+ ethnicities with Chinese nationality (including Russians and Koreans along with the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and others) into a single Chinese ethnicity, unless those people are choosing to self-identify with Han culture regardless of their hukou and ID card status.

 * For languages, absolutely (I) the primary sense of "she knows Chinese" is inclusive of both some standard form of the characters and their standardized Mandarin pronunciation. It's silly that there's any argument above because of course (II) the secondary sense is the written language separate from any particular pronunciation. (III) The branch of the Sinitic branch of Sino-Tibetan that doesn't include the Bai can be called Chinese, but it's still a group or family of languages and not a single one to itself. There are people who for political reasons might say Zoeng Wai from Gwongzau "speaks Chinese" but it's misleading to the point of falsity if they really mean Cantonese when they say that. Cantonese isn't the language of China; it's a form of that language and he "speaks a kind of Chinese". Our definition and gloss should make that clear. — LlywelynII  17:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:down

Are you down (for something)?
what about "are you down tonight?" "yeah, i'm down man; count me in!"

 * ✅ Equinox ◑ 17:00, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * @User:Equinox Does the usex "I thought you was down" go with this one? How about "my homies is down so don't arouse my anger"? Troll Control (talk) 19:51, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

down with
Where can I find this sense: "down with the tyranny!" or similar? Anatoli 05:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

 * I am still interested where to fit this sense. I'll put it under "Interjection". --Anatoli 05:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

 * ✅ It can now be found at the entry . Equinox ◑ 17:00, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Preposition may be removed
"Down" is not a preposition. The two meanings under the heading Preposition are also given under the heading "Adverb" Aursani (talk) 19:43, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * There is duplication but it doesn't necessarily follow that it's not a preposition. More probably some examples are misplaced. Equinox ◑ 02:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Is not the military sense different?
I would think that for a person to "down" an enemy fighter or missile is a different thing from a storm to "down" a tree. DeistCosmos (talk) 15:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Etymology
Etymology is fine except for the imaginary Proto-Indo-European root and meaning[4]. The high standard of etymologies from Wiktionary are sometimes unique, (for example, that of DOG[7]). DOWN and also DUN (dusky brown) are two word examples continued from the Celtic[7], due to the influence of other Germanic words from Saxon conquests. Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk) 11:49, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

[0] means 'Absolutely not; [1] means 'Exceedingly unlikely'; [2] means 'Very dubious'; [3] means 'Questionable'; [4] means 'Possible'; [5] means 'Probable'; [6] means 'Likely'; [7] means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested; [8] means 'Attested'; [9] means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods. Andrew H. Gray 21:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC) Andrew (talk)

Possible missing verb sense
Chambers 1908 has a transitive verb sense "to dispirit" (i.e. bring someone down, make them depressed?). Equinox ◑ 16:59, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

drive down
2. To drive someone or something to another location I can't leave for the beach until Saturday—can you drive me down? Mom is going to drive all of that stuff down to campus next weekend. What meaning is this definition referring to? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

RFV discussion: October 2020–January 2021
RFV sense:

The existing example is IMO not really that of an intensifier, and is apparently covered by the more specific sense "So as to secure or compress something to the floor, ground, or other (usually horizontal) surface". Seeking examples that are purely intensifiers. Mihia (talk) 21:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Calm down. We'll find some. Perhaps at least the more literal senses of rain down, argue down, beat down, bow down, burn down, slow down, chain down, close down, cool down, copy down, crouch down, dig down, dim down, sit down, etc.
 * There are other cases where the implication is "to a point of completion or thoroughness": chase down
 * Some of my propose intensifier cases may be viewed as this "completion" sense. DCDuring (talk) 23:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I do not agree that any of those are valid examples. Mihia (talk) 08:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Why not? In virtually every case down is either an intensifier or the VERB + down expression is pleonastic. DCDuring (talk) 14:04, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think we have different views about what constitutes an "intensifier". I think you are including cases where the same or similar meaning of "down" is already contained within the verb, whereas for me, an intensifier should not express any specific meaning at all, other than intensification (if it does, then it belongs under the sense relevant to that meaning). For example, I would not call "down" an intensifier in "sit down", as clearly it indicates downward movement, notwithstanding the fact that "sit" alone incorporates or implies a similar meaning. Please can others comment on this too. Mihia (talk) 17:32, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Is there a better name for what I am talking about? Is it a "kind" of intensifier?
 * Also, there are some uses of words like up and down that make them aspect markers, indicating completion of the action of the unadorned verb. DCDuring (talk) 21:36, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

RFV-failed Kiwima (talk) 19:27, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: October 2020–January 2021
RFV sense:

Seeking convincing examples where "down" isn't better explained in some other way. The "boiled down" example is covered by the more specific sense "From a greater to a less bulk, or from a thinner to a thicker consistence", which also gives a "boil down" example, while "sat down" does not to me indicate any more "completion" than "sat". Mihia (talk) 21:24, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Previously discussed at Tea_room/2019/May. Mihia (talk) 21:30, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 * You can always add definitions to cover the meaning in each verb synonym set. DCDuring (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 * You can. I have to fix some sort of WordPress nonsense. Phone me if you want to swap. Equinox ◑ 02:30, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean. Mihia (talk) 08:27, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think he's saying that he'd rather add definitions than fix his WordPress problem. DCDuring (talk) 14:01, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No, I mean I don't understand "You can always add definitions to cover the meaning in each verb synonym set". We should add definitions for all distinct meanings of "down", but how does this help to verify or reject the challenged sense? Mihia (talk) 17:35, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The definition that you cited: "From a greater to a less bulk, or from a thinner to a thicker consistence" is specific to a single verb and its synonyms. Some of our definitions for common adverb/prepositions like down, up, in, out, for, against, to, from are specialized to very small classes of verbs often a single common verb and its synonyms. I think of such definitions as not being as helpful as they try to be because they are lost among all the other excessively specific definitions of those words. DCDuring (talk) 21:42, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of examples that would fit that definition, the first part at least, e.g. "pare down", "whittle down", "cut down", "trim down", "slim down" etc. I don't think it is too specific, but the exact wording of the definition could probably be improved, and more examples could be given, which I will try to attend to in due course. But in any case, regardless of how and where we cover the "boil down" sense, to me the word "down" in this phrase signifies a reduction in volume, and not "carried to some state of completion" as the challenged entry presently claims. Mihia (talk) 09:40, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I take your point. DCDuring (talk) 14:06, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

I have added three usexes that I think might support this meaning. What do others think? Kiwima (talk) 20:39, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

RFV-passed Kiwima (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Entry now reads:

Belatedly, I am not really convinced about all of the examples added. Does "He closed operations" indicate an action of "indefinite duration"? To me it seems like an action with a clear and permanent completion, viz. closure. "The baby settled. / The baby settled down." seems dubious to me also. Again, "The baby settled" seems to me to imply no less completion than "The baby settled down". I say that "down" here connotes a reduction in noise/movement/activity. The most plausible one to me is "He chased answers." / "He chased down answers", where "down" can seem to add the meaning that he found answers rather than kept on looking. (I am still not 100% convinced that the present definition is the true explanation of "down" in "chase down", but it is very hard to prove what that true explanation would be.)Mihia (talk) 11:39, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You may be right about "the baby settled", but "He closed operations" implies that they may reopen later, while "he closed down operations" suggests a more permanent closure. We could also include hunted vs hunted down, tracked vs tracked down. Kiwima (talk) 20:51, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that some of the usage examples are ambiguous. It would be hard to find unambiguous attestation for the close down and settle down cases. Hunt down and track down seem unambiguous to me. I am sure that we could find more: cook down, dampen down, hail down, strip down, sponge down, smooth down, sand down, rub down, melt down all seem unambiguous in most usage. DCDuring (talk) 21:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't personally see much (or any) difference in the permanence of "closed down operations" versus "closed operations". I think a better example of this idea with "close" would be "He closed (down) the shop", where the sentence without "down" could mean "closed for the day, but reopening tomorrow", while "down" probably implies a more permanent closure. Despite this, I very much doubt that "down" here actually means what the relevant definition says. Surely it means "into a state of non-operation", like "I shut down the machine" or whatever. Most of the other suggested examples, "cook down", "dampen down" etc., all in my view have clear explanations for "down" that are nothing to do with the queried definition. I see "hunt/track down" as similar to "chase down", which as a group are IMO the best candidates so far identified, but still not absolutely 100% convincing that "down" really does mean what the relevant definition says. Mihia (talk) 21:02, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * In fact, to possibly repeat what I may once have said somewhere else on this topic, it seems to me that "down" in "hunt down" may have originally, or literally, referred to bringing an animal "down" in the sense of "felling" it, but then acquired greater and greater figurative sense. But this is only speculation on my part. Mihia (talk) 23:41, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: April 2021
(African-American Vernacular, slang) Accepted or respected, especially in the black or thug community.
 * I don't think even the usex is unambiguously for this sense. Hard to search for, sorry. Troll Control (talk) 18:13, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

cited Kiwima (talk) 21:12, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Could be keep the RfV tag for a while? Maybe somebody familiar with AAVE could confirm the citations and make sure that this sense (15) and sense 8 are/were distinct. DCDuring (talk) 22:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * down with the kids is interesting. Troll Control (talk) 08:46, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

 * The usex is hard to distinguish from the "Comfortable with, accepting of" sense; I would remove it...although I notice it was copied from Urban Dictionary's 2002 definition of down as "To be 'down' means to be 'with it'. Respected in the thug community. What do you mean, no? I thought you was down." Another UD definition, from 2003, is "to be friends with someone or to spend time with them. 'Gettin Down' means to fuck them. [...] 'I'm pretty down with her.'" The Concise New Patridge also asserts that in addition to "willing, [...] eager" (presumably our "comfortable with"), down can mean "excellent, loyal, fashionable" as well as "aware of the current social fashions and opinions; being or feeling a part of a general or specific social scene. A narrowing of the earlier UK C18 sense (wide-awake, suspicious, aware), modern use is mainly black or trendy US." (That semantic evolution, if right, is similar to woke.) The "aware of social fashions" sense is well-illustrated by the quote "You ain't down if you ain't heard of Method Man." from the 1995, Lois Stavsky et al. A2Z: The Book of Rap and Hip-Hop Slang, page 30. OTOH, our Coolio cite seems more likely to mean something corresponding to Patridge's "loyal", IMO, and for the "down for" cites, "loyal" seems at least as likely an interpretation as "respected, accepted". - -sche (discuss) 21:14, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

RFV-passed Kiwima (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

 * I (subsequently) completely chanted the definition, though, based on the reference and analysis I gave above. We're also missing the "aware of social fashions; fashionable" sense illustrated by the "You ain't down if you ain't heard of Method Man" quote. It's conceivable that the "respected in the thug community" sense we and Urban Dictionary had is even an attempt at expressing that(?); I have seen Urban Dictionary take some pretty odd tacks as far as how to express what a word means. I don't think the citations provided support that sense, if it exists. - -sche (discuss) 02:09, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

down on
Against someone or something. (*Typically: be ~;get ~.) Y''ou've been down on us all lately. I'm down on computers lately. Everyone sure got down on fast food.''

RFV discussion: June 2022
Rfv-sense - the Adjective sense 15 I've never heard this to mean "loyal" - to be 'down' is to be "accepted/respected in the (thug) community", to be "with it" (i.e. down with the brown), to be "cool (with us)"... (?) Leasnam (talk) 02:34, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Dylanvt removed this sense (adverb; Special:Diff/62754912) and moved the usage examples and the quotation to “From one end to another of (in any direction); along.” (preposition; Special:Diff/62754915). J3133 (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * I agree that the above examples are prepositional, but there is a "static" prepositional usage, e.g. "He lives down the road" and a "kinetic" prepositional usage, e.g. "He is walking down the road". It may be possible either to combine these into one sense, with suitable wording possibly involving "or", or to split them, but the existing presentation, where e.g. "His place is farther down the road" is under the definition "From one end to another of", doesn't seem ideal to me. Cases such as "He lives further down" and "His place is further down", as raised by Facts, are tricky to handle. Mihia (talk) 19:09, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Capitalization
Be sure to use the correct capitalization when entering new words. It’s split ticket, not Split Ticket. —Stephen 22:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

response to User talk:Connel MacKenzie
I'm very sorry you feel that way.

This is not Wikipedia, with 1,000+ admins loitering about, willing to got the extra ten miles with an obtuse warning system.

Your edits were not reasonable. This is a dictionary, so we show words in use, preferably with real citations. There are lots of words here that many people don't like, but reducing information about them is rarely helpful. In this case, demonstrably unhelpful.

You have made an enormously dubious claim that some examples (somehow) express a particular point of view. Sorry, but it is up to you to demonstrate how that can be. You are welcome instead, to add counter-examples to balance entries to your liking.

For now, I'll continue to revert the disruptive portions of your edits, as I'm sure other sysops will continue to do as well.

--Connel MacKenzie 20:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see the "Welcome" section below, for what is considered an acceptable "Quotations" section here. --Connel MacKenzie 20:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Rollback flurry
Please try and word your complaints more neutrally, so I don't mistakenly click rollback too often, in response to your leading statements. (Your edit to split ticket this time was fine...why didn't you start with something like that?) --Connel MacKenzie 20:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand some of my edits, as I did not have enough information for my source. After looking at the logs better, I was able to see this. What I do not understand is why, you tell me to feel free to add counter examples, when other people have failed to do so. I decided to change the example to be politically neutral and it was reverted by Atelaes. I hope that the current example at split ticket will stay as it is, as it mentions both major parties in the US. Thanks for responding. (And I didn't start with and example like that because when I first made the entry I was politically bias, and didn't understand that I need to not be bias in my entries, as I kept working on small bits and pieces here and there I came across Wikipedia's NPOV Policy.)

 * I thought I'd take a second to explain my rollback of your edits. As a general rule of thumb, I revert when someone edits an article without making any improvements.  I realize this may sound silly, but I've seen wheel wars on Wikipedia over nonsense, such as American/British spellings, etc.  I even heard (but have not checked to see if this is true) that there was such an argument over airplane vs. aeroplane, that the entry finally settled at fixed-wing aircraft, which is absurd.  And so, when people change color to colour on an entry, I always revert it, honoring the original author's work and preventing such silliness.  Had I taken the time to check the history on the entry, I would have realized that you were the original author of the entry and were simply tweaking your example sentence, and would have left the edit alone.  One thing that you may discover about Wiktionary is that most of the editors here, especially the admins, have a million other things they'd rather be doing other than gritty maintenence (I for example am trying to write a comprehensive Ancient Greek lexicon, basically from scratch) and so do not take the time, nor possess the patience that Wikipedia admins seem to.  Here, the burden is more often on the editor to argue that their edit is worthwhile than it is on the admin to spend ten minutes researching the background on the edit.  We are a much smaller community with few active admins, and so this is somewhat necessary.  I hope this gives you a better sense of what was going on at split ticket.  Feel free to communicate any further questions or concerns that you may have to me.  Atelaes 20:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for the explanation. Bballoakie 20:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

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

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

User:BlackJar72

 I'm sorry, but due to financial reasons I'm having to shut off my home internet. As a result I may not be around much and may not respond to messages -- nothing personal, its just life, and mine doesn't involve the internet at this time.  (And yes, I'm posting this same broiler plate everywhere -- and yes, it is true.

I started with Wikipedia and then the general English Wiktionary. I've come to write more at the Simple Enlgish wiktionary because I have noticed many strange holes in the content. (General English has plenty of writers and few holes.) I can be found at:

 * http://www.myspace.com/jaredbgreat (MySpace).
 * http://www.scribd.com/BlackJar72 {things I've written)

I'm interested in:

 * 1) Trying to provide information, clean-up, and corrections on words from the scattered subjects I know well.
 * 2) Providing IPA symbols when I can and its needed.
 * 3) Learning correct deffinitions when I'm wrong or my knowledge is less complete than I first thought.

I say I know German-0 because I have recently realized how bad my German really is (i.e., I know a tiny vocabulary and a handful of phrases, but do not have any functional communication ability).
