Talk:vector

Adjective
Never heard of the adjective. Can anyone confirm this meaning? Ncik 11:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't exist in any other online dictionary. SemperBlotto 13:10, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I cut the adjective definition:
 * ===Adjective===
 * vector
 * of one's liking, fitting with cultural ideals

Rod (A. Smith) 06:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Better definition
is there any better definition od vector? —This.

 * There are many definitions listed on the entry page. For which sense are you seeking a better definition? Rod (A. Smith) 06:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

vector
rfd-sense: (psychology) "a recurring psychosocial issue that stimulates growth and development in the personality"
 * not in 2 psych dictionaries in this sense, incl APA 2006, contibutor cites one author in edit summary. DCDuring TALK 15:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

 * A section about Arthur Chickering from Professional Orientation to Counseling may shed some light on this use of the word "vector". It still sounds to me like an application of a generic term for a specific purpose that may not be widely recognized as a new connotation, but I'm not a psychologist (nor do I play one on TV). Interestingly, I hadn't read the edit summary of the addition of this sense before I checked, so the fact that my quick search yielded the same Chickering weakly reinforces the idea that this is a very uncommon connotation, maybe only in use by a single professional. Broader evidence is certainly called for. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

RFD discussion: April–June 2015
msh210 and Keφr seem to be fairly inactive as of late, but we are in need of mathematicians. To me, the first three definitions all seem like various parts of the true mathematical definition of a vector. They are mathematically distinguishable, but not lexically distinguishable, in the sense that I don't think one could find a use exclusive to any of those definitions that did not fall under all of them, hence my belief that they ought to be merged. That said, I await the judgement of more knowledgeable individuals, especially with respect to what the merged definition would look like. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:50, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the three mathematical definitions could be condensed to two definitions, but I'd be unwilling to have a single one. What the three senses we have at the moment effectively mean is:

 * 1) A mathematical quantity consisting of a magnitude and a direction.
 * 2) A mathematical quantity represented in a format like (x,y,z), which can be thought of as representing a magnitude and a direction.
 * 3) A mathematical quantity which can be meaningfully added to another quantity of the same type, and also multiplied by a scalar
 * Sense 1 is arguably a subsense of sense 2 (or possibly vice versa), although there are ways of representing magnitude and direction vectors that aren't ordered tuples (for instance, "1 mile in a north-westerly direction" is a vector), and there are ordered tuples for which magnitude and direction are physically meaningless (quantum physics uses vectors as a convenient way to represent the state of particles, but these vectors aren't directly related to any distance or angle in the physical world - rather, they only 'exist' in a mathematical abstraction called a Hilbert space - and supercomputers often represent all sorts of data in vector format just because that's easier for parallel processors to handle). Both of these senses are solidly from the realm of applied mathematics. Sense 3 on the other hand is restricted almost entirely to pure mathematics. These vectors do not necessarily have anything at all to do with distances and magnitude, and they don't necessarily even represent numbers - they could be functions, matrices or even entire fields of numbers. The only thing that makes them vectors is the fact that they have two properties: you can add them together, and you can multiply them by scalars (typically, this means just a straightforward real number). Now, sense 1 and 2 are both technically redundant to this sense, but this sense is so vague and so far removed from our everyday intuition of a vector that we wouldn't help anyone by merging all the senses here. I would suggest instead having:

 * 1) A member of a vector space.
 * 2) (Mathematics, physics) A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points.
 * 3) (Mathematics, physics, computing) A mathematical quantity represented by an ordered tuple.
 * 4)  (Pure mathematics) A mathematical object representing a member of a space on which addition and scalar multiplication are defined.
 * Any suggestions are of course welcome. Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Never really been a fan of organizing things as definition, subdefinition. I think it's fine the way it is. Pur ple back pack 89   20:27, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Eh, might as well vote keep. I haven't been convinced that this should be deleted and it's certainly not an SOP case. Pur ple back pack 89  14:06, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Our current senses are: IMO these are distinct even lexically. (I read the nomination above, and not, fully, the replies thereto, so forgive me if I repeat something already said. Thanks for the ping, by the way.) When a high-school physics teacher refers to velocity as a vector as opposed to speed, which is a scalar, he means sense 1, not sense 2 or 3. (Velocity is a vector in sense 3, certainly, and can be re-defined so it's a vector in sense 2, I suppose, but neither of those is what the teacher means.) When a high-school math teacher says "[1,2] is a vector", that's clearly sense 2 (and only possibly sense 1). So we need 1 and 2 both. And of course 3 is different, including e.g. polynomials. —msh210℠ (talk) 21:20, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) (mathematics) A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points.
 * 2) (mathematics) An ordered tuple representing a directed quantity or the signed difference between two points.
 * 3) (mathematics) Any member of a (generalized) vector space.
 * Keep the three separate as per msh210 above. I disagree with the reformulations made above; in particular, in the 3rd sense, vector space meets certain axioms which the redefinitions fail to ensure. The definitions in are good "as is". The axioms are listed e.g. in Wolfram Mathworld. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:05, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. these are technical senses, yet not one has a single WT:CFI attested usage. How, besides sharing common knowledge, is a discussion possible. Dan, at least makes the effort to point to a dictionary. The nuance needs attestation. —BoBoMisiu (talk) 22:38, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't vote delete, I merely took issue at the organization of the entry. Pur ple back pack 89  03:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Senses kept. Perhaps the definitions could be made more clearly distinct, however. bd2412 T 21:32, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

The pronunciation of the 'y' at the end of Wiktionary is clearly different to the 'i' in the first syllable,so why is it represented by the same symbol? In some dictionaries they seem to have introduced the symbol "i" to represent it. Could this not be done on Wiktionary?

User talk:Dmh/words:Variants of god,gosh,gol-damn,dang,darn,durn-it,ed

Note
This page collects information about the various combinations of god/gol/gosh and damn/dang/darn/durn, possibly further combined with -ed or it.

Etymology
dang, darn and durn are all euphemistic pronunciations of damn. gol and gosh are euphemistic pronunciations of god

Pronuncation and Spelling
The n in damn is never pronounced, even in forms such as damned and damnit (but see damnation and damnable). For this reason, damnit and associated forms are also spelled dammit etc. The two forms are equally common.

Note that damned must be spelled with an n, as dammed is simply the past tense of dam.

Usage Note
The various forms listed here may be used interchangeably, except that damn is generally considered more impolite. Darn is the most common euphemism, with dang and durn as regional variants. Just as damn is combined with god for extra emphasis to get goddammn and goddamned, the euphemisms combine with the euphemistic forms gol or gosh. Any of the six possible combinations is heard, though goshdarn may be more common than goldarn and goldurn more common than goshdurn.

Intensifier
damn, damned, goddamn, goddamned dang, danged, goldang, goldanged, goshdang, goshdanged darn, darned, goldarn, goldarned, goshdarn, goshdarned durn, durned, goldurn, goldurned, goshdurn, goshdurned

 * 1) Generally used to express annoyance or impatience concerning the modified word.
 * Give me the goldang phone already!
 * Do you have to be so damned stubborn?

Usage Note
Grammatically this form is a past participle acting as a modifier, but the final -ed is often dropped, so any of damn, damned, dang, danged, durn or durned could be heard (or goddamn, goddamned, goshdarn, goshdarned etc.).

Transitive verb
(only used in imperative) damn, goddamn dang, goldang, goshdang darn, goldarn, goshdarn durn, goldurn, goshdurn

 * 1) Expresses intense disapproval of the object.
 * Damn you for doing that!

Usage Note
Given its original meaning, damn may also be used with hell as in Damn you to hell for doing that!. One occasionally hears constructions such as darn you to heck, but these are only for humorous effect. The euphemisms do not retain the theological meanings of the original.

Interjection
damn, dammit, damnit, goddamn, goddammit, goddamnit dang, dangit, goldang, goldangit, goshdang, goshdangit darn, darnit, goldarn, goldarnit, goshdarn, goshdarnit durn, durnit, goldurn, goldurnit, goshdurn, goshdurnit

 * 1) Expresses surprise or generally adds emphasis.
 * Durn! I thought I was going to win that game!
 * Durnit! I thought I was going to win that game!

Usage Note
As with damned/damn above, the original form (damn it) is often contracted, and either form may be heard. As always, damn can combine with god (goddamn, goddamnit or goddammit) and the euphemisms can combine with gol or gosh (goshdarnit, goldurnit, etc.).

Talk:choda

dick
maybe choda means dick where you come from but where I grew up, choda means the area between the scrotum and the anus.

 * Agree with above - choda is now used exclusively in this sense in Southern Ontario, Canada. I had a conversation with an older, wiser friend of mine circa 1990 who said that 'choda' referred to the area between the scrotum and the anus, and that 'moda' referred to the area between the penis and the navel. Just my $0.02. 99.238.227.91 09:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

The original text was "Choda (slang) - a choda is a penis which is greater in width than it is long. It has also come to mean a very fat person, whether or not they are indeed wider than they are long." This notion keeps cropping up (also under choad/chode), but I haven't seen any real evidence for it except that someone is propagating the same notion in UrbanDictionary. Such entries are often just someone's idea of cool new slang. As always, the test is independent attestation.

Anyway, I'm restarting this page as a stub, which I hope Hindi/Bengali/Gujrati/etc. speakers will be able to fill in. I'm not even sure what language to put it under, but I'll start the bidding at "Hindi." In any case, it's pretty clear that this is a valid subcontinental vulgarity. -dmh 17:36, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As there has been some confusion:
 * choda clearly is used in various senses, but the evidence for the particular sense above appears to be scant.
 * The term seems to occur in (at least) Bengali and Gujarati. It also appears to be used in English, both by Bangledeshi speakers and by monolingual speakers.  The latter use seems to be purely vulgar, but reasonably well attested (e.g., by the character "Choda Boy" in Orgazmo or one of the other Matt & Trey offerings, who wears a helmet emblazoned with a phallic symbol).
 * In short, the only confusion here is over just how to file the entry and over just which senses are attested. It should definitely be under English.  It may also belong under one or more Indic languages, and then the further question is whether to list it under Latin characters, Devanagari, or both.  This seems to be a more general question to do with Indic languages.
 * In any case, input from native speakers would be much appreciated. There is enough evidence to support the entry as it is, but it will be a more complete entry with such input.  In particular, can anyone provide printed attestation, whether in English or not?  The term seems to be rare in the sort of printed sources easily available in the US or on the net.  In particular,  choad/chode/choda are missing from several published dictionaries of slang, despite one or more of them being in use in American slang since at least the 1990's.

Hindi

 * 1)  A contemptible person.

 * Wow, as far as I know, chodana (चोदना) is 'to fuck', choda is 'fucked'. I am Gujarati, I know not how this is used as described in the article. And my understanding is that it is quite prevalent everywhere in the subcontinent. 04:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

RFV Discussion: choda
I'm moving this from RFD. There's actually good evidence that this is a borrowing from one or more Indic languages, but it would be nice to have more details from native speakers. If that doesn't show up before the deadline grows imminent, I'll probably just pick three citations at random to keep the wolves at bay. -dmh 17:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Update
December 16, 2009 Bangla (Bengali) usage For fifty-seven years, I have heard the word spoken as chuda (choodaa), regarded as vulgar, but used quite commonly in Bangladesh. Sorry I do not know how to write Bangla here. Tense: The term chud (chood) seems like a regular verb with standard variations for different tenses. (Male says): Present indefinite: ami chudi (I fuck); tumi chudo (you fuck); se chude (he fucks); ura chude (they fuck); Present continuous: ami chudchi (I am fucking); tumi chudcho (you are fucking); se/ura chudche (he is/ they are fucking); Past indefinite: ami chudechilam (I fucked); tumi chudechile (you fucked); se/ura chudechilo (he/they fucked); Past continuous: ami chudtechilam (I was fucking); tumi chudtechile (you wee fucking); se/ura chudtechilo (he/they were fucking); Future indefinite: ami chudbo (I will fuck); tumi chudbe (you will fuck); se/ura chudbe (he/they will fuck);

Female says): Present indefinite: ami chudai (I fuck); tumi chudao (you fuck); se chudai (she fucks); ura chudai (they fuck); Present continuous: ami chudaitechi/chudacchi (I am fucking)/ tumi chudaitecho/chudaccho (you are fucking)/ se/ura chudaiteche/chudacche (she is/ they are fucking); ami chuda dei (I let me be fucked); tumi chuda deo (you let yourself be fucked); se chuda dei (she lets her be fucked); ura chuda dei (they let themselves be fucked); Past indefinite: ami chudaichilam (I fucked); tumi chudaichile (you fucked); se/ura chudaichilo (she/they fucked); Future indefinite: ami chudabo (I will fuck); tumi chudabe (you will fuck); se chudabe (she will fuck);

Word derivations: chudan (the act of chuda); chudoinna (Local to Eastern Bangladesh): a (male) fucker; chudani (female) fucker; chudmarani/chootmarani (female fucker); mudan (the state of peace after sex); muthan (pissing); chudanbaj (male)obsessed with fucking. achuda (unfucked/inexperienced/ immature/); motherchod (mother-fucker); banchod (sister-fucker); bokachoda (fucked up idiot); barochoda (fucked by everybody/ chatterbox); chuda khawa (to get fucked up); choddo nombor (brothel, metaphorical number 14)

Related slangs: For pussy: (Dhaka-Mymensigh-Comilla-Noakhali area): heda; (Barisal area): chama; (Sylhet area) voga; (Faridpur area): voda;/budha; hedamara/vodamara ( to fuck a pussy); putkimara (to fuck the ass); putkimara khawa (to get fucked up as a loser); For dick (non-vulgar) sona, (literally gold); dhan (literally wealth); Vulgar term for dick: leora/ (cf. Hindi landa); Vulgar term for prostitute: khanki, nodi (noti); khankibari/nodibari/magipara: brothel; Vulgar for pimp: baora; magir dalal (prostitute’s agent); son-of-a-bitch: nodir puth/ khankir puth; (puth may be also pula);

(Female sex partner): magi; (male sex partner): lang; (sexual union): sanga/hanga (cf. Hindi sangam);

Looks like not much has changed. Sigh.

I've pulled in three random google groups hits. As to CFI, I would think that the number of posts entitled "What is a choda" would indicate that people would be likely to run across the term and want to know what it means. This entry also helps support the derivation of the more common choad and chode from Indic langauges.

I especially appreciate the response from the Gujrati speaker above. It's entirely common for a word to be borrowed in a sense similar to, but not exactly the same as, the meaning in the lending language. A good example is menu.

It's quite easy to find durably archived online hits where choda is clearly used for its meaning. It's unfortunately hard to find printed examples, but that doesn't keep a word from being a word. -dmh 18:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Etymology
I'm not sure whether the etymology is "Gujarati" or not. Plus, here, Gujarati script needs to be used, not Devanagari (used for Hindi). The word "chodnā" (चोदना) in the etymology is actually Hindi. I believe the Gujarati counterpart would be "chodu.n" (ચોદું). But, this should be confirmed by a native speaker. --Dijan 20:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks very much for the correction and transliterations. Not knowing either of the languages, much less their scripts, I pasted in from the comment above.  I wasn't claiming the origin was Gujrati, just that it was Indic.  Since people seem to find it hard to believe that choda is a real word with a highly plausible etymology, I wanted to mention the cognates in the various Indic langauges. -dmh 14:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
