Talk:give someone the runaround

I moved this article from "give one the runaround" since "one", like "one's" is used refexivly in dictionaries. Most print dictionaries I've noticed would use "sb" but on Wiktionary we avoid abbrevations. "Sombebody" seems better than "someone" / "some one" since it has only one modern spelling. — Hippietrail 05:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"One" or "somebody" in verb phrases with direct objects
Hippietrail: I'm still fuzzy on how to distinguish things filed under "one" from things filed under "somebody", but now that you moved it, it seems very obviously correct. If you could explain a bit more, or suggest something for me to read, I will certainly make the effort to get it straight. I think we've done this sort of move before, and I'd like to understand the difference so you don't have to spend your time cleaning up after me. Anyhow, thanks for keeping me honest, as always. I do appreciate feedback...it helps keep me from feeling like I'm flinging definitions into a void.--Dvortygirl 05:21, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome. I don't have any reading suggestions - I guess I just picked it up after years of using lots of dictionaries. I did think up a bit of a way to help remember the difference though: "One picks one's nose and picks somebody else's brain." Okay so it's not very poetic and it doesn't even have a ring to it but it might get the job done until we think up something more elegant (-: — Hippietrail 00:00, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

gerundive

Etymology
From, from , from , future passive participle (gerundive) of.

Noun

 * 1)  a verbal adjective that describes obligation or necessity, equivalent in form to the future passive participle.
 * 2)  a verbal adjective ending in -ing, also called a "present participle".

Usage notes
English grammar does not have an exact equivalent to the Latin gerundive. English verbal adjectives ending in -ing are similar, but the Latin gerundive implies a sense of necessity that is lacking from the English construct. For example, the word “agenda” (i.e. “things that ought to be done,” not just “things to be done”) conveys the sense of necessity from the Latin gerundive.

three sheets to the wind

Etymology
This phrase is derived in reference to sailing and sailing ships, and implies an individual "[u]nsteady from drink" (Smyth & Belcher, 1867; Martin, 2023). The "sheet" referred to is the nautical term for a rope (line) that controls the trim of a sail. The phrase was originally "three sheets in the wind", but also appears in its early examples with the number references "two" and "one", and is thought to derive from the fact that when "sheets [of a sailing vessel] are loose and blowing about in the wind[,] then the sails will flap" such that the boat lurches about "like a drunken sailor" (Martin, 2023). As of the last editing of Gary Martin's entry for the idiom, the phrase was most often presented as it is in the title (i.e., "...to [rather than 'in'] the wind"; Martin, 2023). The attribution of the expression's origin to the form with the preposition "in" is supported by a case of the phrase in print of the "two sheets" variation, in The Journal of Rev. Francis Asbury (1815, entry for 26 September 1813), which recounts the author's travels in the South, in the United States: "The tavernkeepers were kind and polite... [but] sometimes two sheets in the wind." (Martin, 2023). The "three sheets" variation is found in Pierce Egan's Real Life in London (1821), which says "Old Wax and Bristles is about three sheets in the wind." (Martin, 2023). About the variations of the number appearing, Martin states,"Sailors at that time had a sliding scale of drunkenness; three sheets was the falling over stage; tipsy was just 'one sheet in the wind', or 'a sheet in the wind's eye' (Martin, 2023)." A further example is Catherine Ward's "The Fisher's Daughter" (1824), in which "...Mr. Blust... instead of being one sheet in the wind, was likely to get to three before he took his departure." (Martin, 2023). Hence, "three sheets in/to the wind" describes an inebriated person (Smyth & Belcher, 1867; Martin, 2023) no longer in control, and—at least historically—lesser numbers implying lessened states of incapacity (Martin, 2023).

 * 1)  Unsteady from drink.

Talk:fee simple

Is this a UKism, or a commonwealthism? Also, shouldn't this be a Noun phrase? Adjective phrase? I wish this one had an etymology; to this American, it is unclear how you get to property ownership from fees. Simple or not. --Connel MacKenzie 15:20, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is certainly an English term from common law - so, my best bet is that "fee" is from the same Norman French root as "fief" and "feudal". Simple just means unrestrained. SemperBlotto 15:40, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Speak vs Talk
what's the difference between speak and talk semantically?
 * Hm... Well, one is more formal than the other. Furthermore you can speak French, but you can hardly talk French. Fyrius 16:55, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

 * I think you can. Equinox ◑ 17:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Transitive usage?
Should we include a transitive definition for "talk" in the verb section? I notice there is a (recent?) usage of "talk" in constructions like "we're talking Noah's Ark here" (example taken from an article by Richard Dawkins). "To talk", it seems, can now also have an object even without any prepositions involved. Fyrius 17:00, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

 * I've just added it. Equinox ◑ 17:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Tea room convo
--Barytonesis (talk) 11:43, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Intransitive?
Shouldn't the first definition be primarily intransitive - as in the first example given ("I managed to talk with the villagers")? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/talk has it down as intransitive.

talking of (informal, especially British English)

Talk:speak

Speak vs Talk
what's the difference between speak and talk semantically?

speak etymology
The noun entry for "speak" has two definitions which I strongly suspect should be two different etymologies. The first "jargon" as in IT speak, could either be a suffix rather than a noun, and/or is the same etymology as the verb. The second, "speakeasy" is almost sure to be a shortening of that same word. -- A LGRIF  talk 12:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

First greeting of the day
I would suggest a more specific nuance of meaning for "speak" which, as near as I can tell, originates in the vernacular of the South, that is to say the Southern USA. To "speak" is to give the first greeting of the day to everyone you meet. In the South, and now increasingly in the rest of the USA, it is considered impolite to pass someone for the first time of the day without the exchange of standard verbal niceties such as, "How are you?" The expected answer is "Fine, and you?" regardless of the condition of an individual's actual health. A true answer is not expected, nor is it polite to give one.

A similar exchange is expected on phone conversations, as in a salutation.

This ritual is separate from any real conversation with purpose, which may or may not follow the ritual. The exchange must occur immediately upon encountering each new person regardless of whether any prior conversations are in progress, or whether the person is working or reading, etc. I believe this tradition originates from Southern Black slaves to whom each day was uncertain, for whom the possibility of being sold away from one's family always loomed.

Usage:

 * He's so rude; he passed right by and didn't speak.

 * Did she speak? No? Maybe she's sick or something.

not to speak of
In addition to or as well as what's been discussed. Typically used to mention an additional item when listing things that one considers negative. I've already got to spend three hours in the car running errands, not to speak of the hour and a half it will take to pick up the kids from school. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/not+to+speak+of --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:15, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Usage note: speak vs talk
Speak can suggest a more formal level of communication than talk. You speak to somebody about something to try to achieve a particular goal or to tell them to do something. You talk to somebody in order to be friendly or to ask their advice: ''Have you talked to your parents about the problems you’re having? • I’ve spoken to Ed about it and he’s promised not to let it happen again.'' https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/speak_1?q=speak JMGN (talk) 08:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:bowling

Why are 3/4 classified as nouns?

 * Because the "-ing" form of a verb becomes either an adjective or a noun. It only stays a verb if it's preceded by a word such as "be", "was", "is".
 * So "bowling" in cricket is a noun but it's just a gerund of to bowl. It's pointless trying to define "bowl" in both bowl and bowling. You should move the verb senses to the pages of the plain old verb (called the infinitive or citation form). They may even be there already.
 * Sometimes dictionaries can be more subtle than expected - I hope this helps to clear that up a little. — Hippietrail 00:25, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
