Talk:jingoism

Source for the reference to the Basque name for god? Bartleby.com says it's from a british patriotic song, “We don’t want to fight, but, by jingo, if we do … .” from the 1870s.

http://www.bartleby.com/65/ji/jingoism.html

As someone else pointed out, the OED says it's "as yet not supported by the evidence" that it's the Basque god:

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=jingo

 * I don't see the utility of removing it. Indicating that it may be disputed is one thing, but removing it is akin to simple vandalism.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Encarta is specific about the origin of jingoism in a song: The context of the coining of jingoism was British foreign policy of the late 1870s. The prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, favored sending gunboats to halt the advance of the Russian fleet out of their own waters into the Mediterranean. This gave rise to a music-hall song, written in 1878 by G. W. Hunt, the refrain of which went: "We don't want to fight, yet by Jingo! if we do, We've got the ships, we've got the men, and got the money too." Opponents of the policy picked up on the word jingo and used it as an icon of blind patriotism.

As for jingo, www.etymonline.com says: As an asseveration, it was in colloquial use since 1694, and is apparently yet another euphemism for Jesus, influenced by conjurer's gibberish presto-jingo (1670). The suggestion that it somehow derives from Basque Jinko "god" is "not impossible," but "as yet unsupported by evidence"

The light-hearted, high-spirited stripling, when cigaring it careless to cover, with a kind of a knowing demi-devil-may-care twist of his beaver, receives in his transit a benison from every real friend of the chase he may chance to pass; and the airy, eager zeal of the youthful aspirant to rolls, tumbles, and the brush, will flush his memory with the frolic gayety of other days, and animate his mind with reflections most welcome to his heart.

This isn't a planet anymore, strange as that may be! I reckon this could be the first dictionary to update it as a dwarf planet - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/5282440.stm. --Feet first 19:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It never was a planet, strange as that may be. Jimp 23:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It most certainly is a planet, in normal everyday speech. The technical distinction has now been made, but hundreds of thousands of uses attest a very different interpretation than a handful of very-important scientists.  Since we are describing the word, not the concept, it should be very clearly marked as the ninth planet in our solar system.  Thirty years from now, if the scientist's opinion has taken hold, a "dwarf planet" definition could be added as long as the "ninth planet" meaning is then marked archaic.  At this point in time, it is far from archaic.  --Connel MacKenzie 10:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It is, has been and will continue to be a planet1. It is not, never has been and will continue not to be a planet2.  Where planet1 means planet by the old definition & planet2 is that by the new.  No, old and new are probably not the best terms either.

 * What's changed is the definition of the word planet ... or more precisely the IAU's definition. How quickly and to what extent normal everyday speech conforms to this ... or whether it ever does is an important issue ... however ...  yes, we are describing the word but note that the word we are describing here is Pluto not planet.

 * It would be all well and good to clearly mark Pluto as the ninth planet1 in our solar system but let's be equally clear that it is not a planet2. Jimp 09:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

It should still be a planet. It was originally one. So why change there mind.

Talk:the cat's pyjamas

The following is from the soon to be deleted page on Wikipedia. The cat's pajamas is an English slang phrase coined by Thomas A. Dorgan. The phrase means "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with bee's knees,  "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), and similar phrases that didn't endure:  "the eel's ankle", "the elephant's instep", "the snake's hip" and "the capybara's spats".

What's the policy on less than genteel language? Another equivalent phrase is the dog's bollocks, which is probably much more widely used and recognised than the cat's meow.

Phrase not dated

Talk:bee's knees

This is from the soon to be deleted page from wikipedia.

The bee's knees is an English slang phrase.

The Oxford English Dictionary records the expression "bee's knee" as meaning something small or insignificant from 1797.

The phrase "the bee's knees", meaning "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pajamas were still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases that didn't endure: "the eel's ankle", "the elephant's instep", "the snake's hip" and "the capybara's spats".

The phrase's actual origin has not been determined, but several theories include "b's and e's" (short for "be-alls and end-alls") and a corruption of "business" ("It's the beezness.")

Apoidea Apiformes
A bee's "corbiculae", or pollen basket, is located on its tibiae (midsegments of its legs).

Origin of bee's knees
I am surprised not to find the theory that this originated as the "Be alls and end alls" or the Bs 'n' Es. I can remember my mother usings the full and abbreviated term interchangably usualy refering to when someone was bessotted with someone or something as in "She thinks he's the Bs 'n' Es".

Bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. It is tempting to explain this phrase as alluding to the concentrated goodness to be found around a bee's knee, but there's no evidence to support this explanation. It is also sometimes said to be a corruption of 'business', but there's no evidence to support that either.

Nor is there any connection with another earlier phrase, 'a bee's knee'. In the 18th century this was used as a synonym for smallness, but has since disappeared from the language, replaced more recently by the less polite 'gnat's bollock':

I learnt this expression from my mother who, while not quite old enough to have been a flapper, was certainly exposed to american idiom's when growing up, and she explained it's meaning as precisely referring to the goodness in the bee's knees. I found it delightful and poetic as a young child and continue to enjoy the expression.

Mrs. Townley Ward - Letters, June 1797 in N. & Q. "It cannot be as big as a bee's knee."

'Bee's knees' began to be used in early 20th century America. Initially, it was just a nonsense expression that denoted something that didn't have any meaningful existence - the kind of thing that a naive apprentice would be sent to the stores to ask for, like a 'sky-hook' or 'striped paint'. That meaning is apparent in a spoof report in the New Zealand newspaper The West Coast Times in August 1906, which listed the cargo carried by the SS Zealandia as 'a quantity of post holes, 3 bags of treacle and 7 cases of bees' knees'. The teasing wasn't restricted to the southern hemisphere. The US author Zane Grey's 1909 story, The Shortstop, has a city slicker teasing a yokel by questioning him about make-believe farm products:

"How's yer ham trees? Wal, dog-gone me! Why, over in Indianer our ham trees is sproutin' powerful. An' how about the bee's knees? Got any bee's knees this Spring?"

This odd cartoon from the May 5th 1914 edition of the Fort Wayne Sentinel uses the term in exactly the same way:

the bee's knees

[Text: Now dot I haf adopted Mr Skygack I suppose I haf to feed him. Vot does he eat? He likes bees' knees. Bees' knees? Yes, sure, he is very fond of them. Vell, I guess I got to catch some bees. Diss looks like a bee-hive.]

There's no profound reason to relate bees and knees other than the jaunty-sounding rhyme. In the 1920s it was fashionable to use nonsense terms to denote excellence - 'the snake's hips', 'the kipper's knickers', 'the cat's pyjamas/whiskers', 'the monkey's eyebrows' and so on. Of these, the bee's knees and the cat's whiskers are the only ones to have stood the test of time. More recently, we see the same thing - the 'dog's bollocks'.

The nonsense expression 'the bee's knees' was taken up by the socialites of Roaring 20s America and added to the list of 'excellent' phrases. A printed reference in that context appears in the Ohio newspaper The Newark Advocate, April 1922, in a piece on newly coined phrases entitles 'What Does It Mean?':

"That's what you wonder when you hear a flapper chatter in typical flapper language. 'Apple Knocker,' for instance. And 'Bees Knees.' That's flapper talk. This lingo will be explained in the woman's page under the head of Flapper Dictionary." [an 'apple knocker' is a rustic]

Clearly the phrase must have been new then for the paper to plan to take the trouble to define it. Disappointingly, they didn't follow up on their promise and 'the lingo' wasn't subsequently explained. Several U.S. newspapers did feature lists of phrases under 'Flapper Dictionary' headings. Although 'bee's knees' isn't featured, they do show the time as being a period of quirky linguistic coinage; for example, from one such Flapper Dictionary:

Kluck - dumb person. Dumb kluck - worse than a kluck. Pollywoppus - meaningless stuff. Fly-paper - a guy who sticks around.

Bee JacksonOne tenuous connection between the bee's knees and an actual bee relates to Bee Jackson. Ms. Jackson was a dancer in 1920s New York and popularised the Charleston, being credited by some as introducing the dance to Broadway in 1924. She went on to become the World Champion Charleston dancer and was quite celebrated at the time.

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that the expression became popular in reference to her and her very active knees, but 1924 post dates the origin of the phrase. .

Definition reversal
Is there any value in the theory that "Bee's Knees" was originally defined as meaning insignificant, or of little value? I thought this seemed a peculiar suggestion when I first heard it, but it seems the other terms described - Eel's Ankle, Elephant's Instep (Gnat's Wing is another, although not mentioned here) - would have similar connotations. 164.143.244.33 09:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:prophesy

Is prophesy an actual word? I thought it was spelt "prophecy", yet I have seen it spelt as "prophesy", what's the difference? -- Guest 00:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Prophecy is the noun. Prophesy is the verb. — User:Smjg (talk) 22:02, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Who in the UK pronounces it /pɹɒfəsɪi/? Indeed, who in the UK knows any such phoneme sequence as /ɪi/ - or any trisyllabic word with no stressed syllable?

In my experience, the word is phonetically distinguished from prophecy by having an /aɪ/ sound at the end. Fixing to reflect this. — User:Smjg (talk) 22:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm British (south-east England) and always thought it was pronounced the same as the noun, but I see that Chambers agrees with what you've just said. Hmm, the number of times I've mispronounced it doesn't bear thinking about! Equinox ◑ 22:17, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Appendix talk:Indo-Iranian Swadesh lists (extended)

So I added the Bengali column and made some changes to the Hindi column as well. Basically I tried to save space by keeping the Romanization and orthographies on separate lines, and by removing Sanskritized words from the Hindi column. The Swadesh lists are not meant to show all possible translations of the English examples; they are meant to show only the most common translation of the basic concept shown by the English example. Of course, even the English list is bad, considering there are words like "thou" in there, but the "thou"-"you" distinction on this list is simply meant to keep the singular and plural "you"s apart. Anyhow, I took out words from the Hindi column, after checking with my Hindi consultants. Tatsama/Tôtshôm words should be kept out of Hindi/Bengali whenever a commonly-used Tadbhav/Tôdbhôb or borrowed word is more commonly used. Although this makes Hindi and Bengali look less related to some other languages, it is more in line with the philosophy of the Swadesh lists, where only the most basic/commonly heard terms should be included. Oh, also, I left space in the Bengali section for when I have the time to add the orthographic representations of those words. Anyhow, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them either here or on my Talk page. Thanks! --SameerKhan 01:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:login

Wa

A Dagaare word which means 'come'

Historical use of the word
Writing the verb "log in" as one word is a common error--does this merit a usage note?

Another comment: at least historically, login often meant username, rather than the combination of username and password.

Use as an adjective
Is 'login' also used as an adjective? Examples would be: 'login page' & 'login details/information' Nunmap (talk) 12:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Both those seem like open compounds using the noun sense only. In login page, one could say noun sense 2 is being used; similarly in login details, it could be sense 1. —Svārtava (t/u) • 14:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It took me awhile, but I see what you're saying now. Another example would be mug shot. I learnt something!

Talk:کس

Why does this have multiple ===Noun=== sections? Just because the transliteration is different? How can that be, when the characters are the same? --Connel MacKenzie 16:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

 * In languages that use abjads (Arabic script, Hebrew script, etc.), short vowels are usually not written. The word کس is made up of only two letters, K-S. The vowel is inferred by context and grammar. In the case of کس, there are two different etymologies, two unrelated meanings, and two pronunciations. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Persian etymology. Persian is an Indo-European language with many borrowings from Arabic and other languages in the region. I can often recognize Arabic etymologies, but this word is too short for me to be sure. —Stephen 18:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I speak Persian. 3 vowels which are set on other letters and are omitted in normal Persian/Arabic writing are َ ِ ُ which respectively sound like pad, bed and go. Kas is written as کَس and Kos as کُس.

r u sure that کس in Persian is vulgar?
I know near to nothing about Persian, but I've read somewhere that the Persian word is not vulgar, unlike its Mashriqi Arabic descendant which is very vulgar. What concerns me is the that someone might have jumped to conclusions from the Arabic case. Hakeem.gadi 04:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I’m pretty sure that کس is vulgar in Persian. The nonvulgar equivalents are مهبل, نيام, or غلا ف (womb, vagina). The word کس means cunt, not vagina. However, I don’t think it’s as vulgar as the English word. Off-color words often have different weights in different languages. For instance, the Spanish word for cunt is coño, but coño is not nearly as strong as the English word cunt. Coño is only about as strong as damn. Even within the same language, the strength of a word may vary over time. Forty years ago, English words like fart and crap are considered vulgar and would not be heard on television or radio. Even the word homosexual was considered extremely offensive. So کس is probably not as strong as the English word, but I think it still counts as vulgar. —Stephen 21:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I speak Persian. This word (kos) is vulgar, very offensive and insulting for its all usages in Persian.

Urdu meaning: "Kis"
Kis is called the "oblique" form of both of the pronouns "kaun" and "kyaa" in Hindu/Urdu. It is used with a postposition:

"Kaun tumhara dost hai?" Who is your friend? "Kis-ko tum kitaab doge?" To whom will you give the book?

I have never heard of this being called the "indirect" form. 24.211.185.26 20:22, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Pubic public
In the context, one of these is likely wrong. 16:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

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.

Where do Usage Notes belong?
I just added the Usage Notes section, but I don't know whether it is supposed to be before or after the Quotations and/or References section. Please move it if it is in the wrong place. Thanks! -- DBooth 20:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Comparability of "granular"
From what I understand, the concept of granular as a comparable adjective is akin to the concept of resolution of a computer screen, or a resolution of analysis, classification, and division.

The usage in comparative is attested per the following searches:

--Dan Polansky 11:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Dan. Googling is not a reliable means of checking on correct word usage of course, as it will just as happily find incorrect usage as correct usage.  But it is a good way to find examples.  Yes, granularity can range from fine to coarse, very akin to resolution on a computer screen, but it does not have a well defined quality of "more" or "less" that corresponds to the fine/coarse dimension.  If you look more closely at the citations that you mention, for example,, you will notice that the term "more granular" is sometimes used to mean *finer* grained and sometimes used to mean *coarser* grained -- exactly opposite meanings.  For example: "Benzidine dihydrochloride, although also carcinogenic, is more granular and less powdery than the base" (see document); and "Our more granular approach using the individual diseases commonly encountered in the breast helped us assess . . ." (see document). -- DBooth 22:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I've put the Usage section back in, this time with references. -- DBooth 03:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the note. Any notions of "correctness" in usage are valid only within the context of those who choose to use the word in accordance with such a standard. As there is no arbiter of English usage in general, it would be useful to know in which contexts one or the other of the two different meanings of the graded forms of granular prevailed and where both coexisted. Do you have any facts, thoughts, leads, or opinions on where we might get information that supported the usage note? DCDuring TALK 17:50, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

As a verb, "narced" looks wrong, if only because the main verb would seem to be "narce". Narked or narcked perhaps. --Allamakee Democrat 02:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It is already labeled as slang; it is very common in the US. Narked (3) is less than narced (80), so I don't understand why you think the British spelling rule should outweight the US spelling conventions for this US slang term.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * First he was carping, now he's narked! :-) --Enginear 17:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 * FWIW, I agree that it looks wrong, but there you go. I have added quotations sections at narced.  Seems a little overkill for this word, but now it's attested.  BTW, off topic, I put in a link to a usage instance via Google books.  The citation is surely fair use; do we have policy on linking to books.google in the quote though? Jeffqyzt 01:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * No policy exists that I know of. I also use books.google for many citations, but make a point of trying to rely on other sources whenever convenient.  In entry layout explained, (WT:ELE) the quotation format was described slightly different, but what you added is exactly the type of content desired here in RFV.  --Connel MacKenzie 04:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I updated the quotes section to look like the examples in entry layout explained and Quotations (sorry, I had forgotten the bold years :- I also broke out the "narced on", "narced out"  to a seperate usage notes block.  Are those what you were referring to about the formatting differences?  Or did you mean the addition of the usenet group after the "work title"?  I didn't see an example of a usenet citation in those areas you mention, although they're specifically mentioned as desiriable sources due to their online archival.  As a newcomer to wikis in general and wiktionary in particular, I'm finding it a bit hard to navigate to the appropriate place to refer to for formatting style; there seem to be a number of pages dealing with that, but I tend to think "I saw that in one of those pages" and have to go track them all down again, or else keep half a dozen pages open, since it's not immediately evident what's where.  The "welcome" message you left in my talk page seems about the best list, actually, but it's not inclusive.  Ah well, if it wasn't at least a little bit arcane, it would lose some mystique :-)

Google shows several hundred apparently independent uses as defined, in things like movie reviews and others. If it isn't a word, lots of people think it is. Why is it suspicious? Robert Ullmann 12:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think I said "nonce or spelling/grammar error" but not "suspicious." But anyway, m-w.com doesn't list it, Cambridge online doesn't list it.  Doesn't mean it isn't a word, but it certainly strikes me as an improper construction.  Perhaps other regions are prone to using borrowed words with unusual inflections?  --Connel MacKenzie 04:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The online version of American Heritage Dictionary lists it under "macabre" SemperBlotto 10:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

It does look odd. I think its one of those words like diarise which I loathe, but which has entered common usage. (I don't loathe this word, but do find it odd). Rfvpassed. Andrew massyn 21:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
