Conversely, an intended negative connotation may not be understood by some modern readers.

volleyball

Etymology
In 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, William G. Morgan created a new game called Mintonette, a name derived from the game of badminton. After an observer, Alfred Halstead, noticed the volleying nature of the game at its first exhibition match in 1896, played at the International YMCA Training School (now called Springfield College), the game quickly became known as volleyball (it was originally spelled as two words: "volley ball")

Noun

 * 1)  A game played on a rectangular court between two teams of two to six players which involves striking a ball back and forth over a net.
 * 2)  The inflated ball used in such a game.

Talk:put one's best foot forward

This idiom irks me. Traditional grammar rules limit the use of superlative degree ("best") to cases in which three or more things are being compared, and states that in the case of two things the comparative degree should to be used. I suppose I am just venting on improper idioms, but caveat emptor when putting forward the best of two things!
 * Grammatically, you are correct. I, myself, have never been one "to boldly go", and if I could care less, I might reasonably suppose that I now care at least somewhat.  However, we are here to reflect and catalog actual usage, and I have never heard of anyone settling for putting his better foot forward, despite presumably having only the usual two.  (Out of curiosity, what, precisely what might I buy with this idiom ("caveat emptor")?  A vowel, perhaps? :-) ) --Dvortygirl 08:18, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Touché! I don't question it's legitimacy nor it's place in this compendium, I was simply stating my distaste for some of English's idioms..."head over heels" is another which "gets my goat." TheDaveRoss 08:30, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[sense] Prison slang to kill someone?--Williamsayers79 15:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Is, um, a verb at least? I don't know why it would be specific to prisons; is certainly military. Robert Ullmann 15:14, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * A Google search for drop you where you stand turns up a fair amount of mainstream media uses.. b.g.c also gets about 60 hits. That phrase is the context I'm familiar with, and it certainly isn't limited to prisions. --Versageek 17:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Can't pass up this opportunity:
 * The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny
 * My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money."
 * Pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky
 * He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" and let two fly
 * Hands went up and people hit the floor
 * He wasted two kids that ran for the door
 * "I'm Mike D. and I get respect
 * Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect"
 * M.C.A. was with it, and he's my ace
 * So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face
 * The piano player's out, the music stopped
 * His boy had beef, and he got dropped
 * Mike D. grabbed the money, M.C.A. snatched the gold
 * I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
 * -Beastie Boys, "Paul Revere" (1985)
 * Cheers! bd2412 T 08:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

All hail the Beastie Boys for they rock! |,,| And also help us at Wiktionary! --Williamsayers79 18:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The Beastie Boys cite, and two more, added at the article. I also moved it to the Verb header, and removed the prison guard context note.  BTW, on an unrelated note, is the etymological split of the verb/noun sense warranted? --Jeffqyzt 17:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Drop as in 'kill' probably only works in the present tense. Usually used in a death threat from what i've heard in videogames involving prisons/prison riots

Album/CD/Record drop
I've noticed a bunch of hip-hopists using 'drop' instead of 'release' in referring to new albums. It sounds like old record industry slang, but I'm not sure. I'd add it, but I'm new to the wiktionary, and figure I should let someone with some sense do it. Here are some examples:

|Britney Spears' new album drops in time for holidays

|Kellie Pickler album drops today

|Curumin's new album drops today

Seems newish. Thanks. DCDuring TALK 01:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ by somebody. Equinox ◑ 14:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Drop a curtsey
I'm not sure that this is covered by any sense we have. "To let fall; to allow to fall" is the closest one. Equinox ◑ 14:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Noun

 * 1)  Former British unit of currency worth one-quarter of an old penny; or a coin representing this.
 * 2) * 1895, Parliament of Western Australia, Parliamentary Debates, Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly VIII, page 163:
 * We must keep them to the fact that the duty is one and three quarter farthings, or nearly a half-penny in the pound and no more, and any one who tries to work it out any other way is not acting fairly in the matter.
 * 1)  A very small quantity or value; the least possible amount.
 * 2) * 1927-29,, ', translated 1940''' by , Part I, Chapter xvi:
 * That period of infatuation was not unrelieved by a certain amount of self-introspection on my part. I kept account of every farthing I spent, and my expenses were carefully calculated. Every little item such as omnibus fares or postage or a couple of coppers spent on newspapers, would be entered, and the balance struck every evening before going to bed. That habit has stayed with me ever since, and I know that as a result, though I have had to handle public funds amounting to lakhs, I have succeeded in exercising strict economy in their disbursement, and instead of outstanding debts have had invariably a surplus balance in respect of all the movements I have led.
 * 1)  A division of land.

 * That period of infatuation was not unrelieved by a certain amount of self-introspection on my part. I kept account of every farthing I spent, and my expenses were carefully calculated. Every little item such as omnibus fares or postage or a couple of coppers spent on newspapers, would be entered, and the balance struck every evening before going to bed. That habit has stayed with me ever since, and I know that as a result, though I have had to handle public funds amounting to lakhs, I have succeeded in exercising strict economy in their disbursement, and instead of outstanding debts have had invariably a surplus balance in respect of all the movements I have led.
 * 1)  A division of land.

Psalms

Proper noun

 * 1)  A book of the Old Testament of the Bible, and of the Tanakh.

Usage notes
As each chapter of the is an individual psalm, references to them prefer the singular form. It is more common (e.g.) to refer to Psalm 23 rather than Psalms 23 or the 23rd chapter of the Book of Psalms. The separate word is commonly used when the Book of Psalms is copied or printed as an actual book separate from the rest of the bible.
