Talk:overseer

While technically the word overseer means nothing more than supervisor, it has come to be associated with slavery to such an extent that it can hardly be used without bringing up that association. A passage in the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery article provides an example where "overseer" wouldn't ordinarily be replaced with "supervisor":"The overseers in many of these areas literally worked the slaves to death."This connotation has become closely attached to the meaning of overseer and needs be addressed in the definition. Referring to one's supervisor as an overseer is not complimentary; it's roughly equivalent to calling one's workplace "the salt mines".

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 Alfteconish. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Alfteconish~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

magnissimus
Wouldn't it be Latin and isn't the superlative form maximus? - 23:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's not Latin (although it's formed correctly according to normal rules), because (as you've noted) the superlative of is .  It's irregular.  Saying "magnissimus" is childish, like saying "bestest", and it's therefore unlikely to ever be attested in surviving Latin documents. --EncycloPetey 23:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hmmm... I'm getting some disturbing hits for this word. Most seem to be modern web postings in Latin, but one  appears to be about the grammarian Virgilius Maro.  The author of the article suggests that some of the words used by this grammarian were fanciful creations, but he does seem to have used this word as an alternative to maximus:.  Perhaps we should keep the entry and mark it with usage notes. --EncycloPetey 23:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I wonder about things like this that might come from post-Classical Latin. Most readily accessible Latin dictionaries don't really cover Vulgar, Medieval, Renaissance, Ecclesiastical, New, and Modern Latin. We're lucky if Late Latin is covered. What resources are available for these? DCDuring TALK 04:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * There are lots. There is a MASSIVE multivolume Vulgar Latin dictionary that I sadly do not own or have easy access to (It's an hour away by car, plus a hike uphill to the library).  On my bookshelf, I have Sidwells' Reading Medieval Latin and Souter's Glossary of Later Latin, both of which should still be in print and also available cheap as secondhand copies.  I have Calepinus' Dictionary of Latin (not cheap or easy to find) as well as the Facciolati Lexicon, which was considered the standard before Lewis & Short.  Unfortunately, Lewis & Short limited their work to Classical vocabulary.  Feyerabend includes some common post-Classical terms, and a small pocket-sized edition of that was published by Langenscheidt for about $10.  I also have various volumes that include additional specialized bits. --EncycloPetey 05:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, Stearn's Botanical Latin is very useful for certain kinds of post-Classical Latin as well. --EncycloPetey 05:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * At least I've got Stearns. I don't have access to Fordham library anymore (world class on Ecclesiastical, Medieval), but the NYPL Ref Library is adequate on some subjects. Unfortunately, everything is a shlep. I'm looking to pick up some cheap volumes. I keep on hoping for some good on-line sources for the post-classical periods. DCDuring TALK 11:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You guys made my Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary feel inferior, it is now hiding under my desk and refuses to come out "'cause those older dictionaries will make fun of it" :( - 19:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * It shouldn't feel bad. I use my Oxford Desk Dictionary quite often to check current opinion about principal parts of verbs, placement of macrons, and pronunciation.  Because documents are being discovered all the time, recent research sometimes includes forms that were unknown to earlier scholars. --EncycloPetey 15:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:born on the Fourth of July

born on the Fourth of July
Given the definition, I accept the status of idiom, but I've never seen this before... anywhere. Anyone else? — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 18:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * This has several issues. As much as I like and agree with the example sentence about Sean Hannity, it's hardly appropriate for a neutral dictionary. Also, define American spirit. As an immigrant who's lived here many years, I'm familiar with the sentiment but have a hard time giving a tangible definition. Globish 19:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * It's fine for a neutral dictionary. The definition itself is neutral, describing something that isn't neutral. But like I said, I've never seen the phrase anywhere. American spirit could just be defined as patriotism, of an American. etc. Something like that. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 22:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I have added a more neutrally worded alternative sense and made the tag rfv-sense. Feel free to insert an rfv-sense for the added sense if it seems objectionable. I will also add the obviously appropriate "US" context. DCDuring 22:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * No, individuals shouldn't be mentioned in example sentences, nor definitions. This is a common set-phrase resulting from the song (but not necessarily the book or movie.)  With the new definition, the original one given is redundant and should probably just be removed.  --Connel MacKenzie 20:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Not mentioning individuals in example sentences (not quotations) seems like a great guideline or even policy. Is it in any written guideline or policy or does it follow from one ? DCDuring 23:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Still not seeing actual citations for this - all the book hits I've seen have been references to people who actually happened to be born on July 4. bd2412 T 04:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

 * added two cites, it is hard to find them because of all the noise, but I have heard it used plenty. rfv passed. - 21:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

born on the 4th of July
Did a Google Books search for "was born on the fourth of July" and "was born on the 4th of July" and did not see any idiomatic uses. — Sgconlaw (talk) 17:51, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I agree it is hard to find idiomatic usage of this phrase.
 * This passed RfV once before, back in 2007. I improved the formatting of the two citations on Citations:born on the Fourth of July. Together with the citation present on the main entry, that brings the count to three. However, literally was born on July 4, so I don't think that citation demonstrates clearly idiomatic use, even if he is using that happenstance as a way to brand himself as being a patriot.
 * I can find some stuff like this poem/song, but maybe we're supposed to interpret that as a fictional character who was literally born on July 4. I'd be most convinced by a citation that unambiguously referred to someone who was not literally born on the date but was a patriotic American. That might be too much to ask for, though. 70.172.194.25 17:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the Kovic quotation has to be discarded; he was, as you point out, actually born on 4 July. The 2006 quotation you added to the citations page seems fine, and while I'm doubtful about the 1977 song I suppose it can be given the benefit of the doubt. We still need at least one more unambiguous quotation. — Sgconlaw (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems silly to throw out the Kovic quote, if he was born on literally any other date it wouldn't have made any sense in the quote. "I have a right to be here, I fought for that right and I was born on August 9th." It doesn't matter, because there is plenty of other usage, including the titles of movies, books, etc. which are what make it hard to find other usage. - TheDaveRoss  13:28, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * none of the usages in titles, etc., including the title of Kovic's book, clearly show the alleged meaning "Demonstratively patriotic about the United States". — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:45, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I would argue that they all do, which is the only reason they were chosen. Again, no other comparable phrase makes sense. You don't make a movie about a paralyzed veteran who has to defend his patriotism while opposing a war "Born on March 22nd". They are not in the form "I was born on the Fourth of July, by which I mean I am demonstratively patriotic about the USA", but thankfully most things people write are not that awful. - TheDaveRoss  13:50, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with Sgconlaw. I don't think it provides strong evidence of idiomatic usage because the literal meaning obtains, and he would not have used the phrase if it didn't. 70.172.194.25 18:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Passed again. - TheDaveRoss  13:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * not sure why this is a pass. I see two votes in favour of deletion (70.172.194.25 and myself) and only one (yours) in favour of retention, which means two-thirds of the discussants favour deletion… — Sgconlaw (talk) 20:05, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sgconlaw RFV is not voting, it is seeking evidence of use. If you don't think the provided cites are sufficient, I guess that is a matter for RFD. - TheDaveRoss  20:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t think the facts that the cites are insufficient means that this is a matter for RFD. If there aren’t sufficient qualifying citations, the term fails verification and that is an RFV matter. At the moment, two-thirds of discussants regard the citations as insufficient. — Sgconlaw (talk) 20:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The objection raised is that "usage in titles, etc." are not acceptable. Well, there are three citations which are not titles. I disagree with your assessment, we accept usage in the form of titles all of the time, but still, the CFI criteria are met even if the quotes you object to are excluded. - TheDaveRoss  21:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * my objection is that I only see two quotations indicating that the phrase has the idiomatic sense "Demonstratively patriotic about the United States": the 2006 quotation on the citations page and the 1977 Paxton quotation on the entry page (the latter is actually unclear, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt). I don't think the 1904 or 1977 Kovic quotations on the citations page qualify. Yes, they use the phrase "born on the Fourth of July" but it's not clear that the phrase was intended to mean "demonstratively patriotic about the United States" in those quotations; it could simply be a literal use. — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I notice that "literally born on the Fourth of July" returns many hits, implying the existence of figurative use. Ioaxxere (talk) 00:21, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't trust that argument. If you replace the Fourth of July with "Halloween", "Christmas", or "Valentine's Day", the number of Google hits is within an order of magnitude. Is "born on Halloween" idiomatic? Maybe, but I'd want to see actual evidence of that. Note that "literally" is often just used as an intensifier nowadays. 98.170.164.88 01:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I could not recreate your results. Searching those holidays on Google Books/News returns practically nothing (a few social media posts on the main search, probably using the intensifier), while the Fourth of July does yield several works, including several books from the 80s and 90s which seem unlikely to be using literally in the colloquial sense, although it's hard to confirm. Ioaxxere (talk) 15:26, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * For the record, I was using plain Google. The hits may not technically be durably archived, but since this is a heuristic argument and not a direct search for quotations anyway, I don't see that as too important. I see 520 Google hits for "literally born on Halloween", 1,020 for "literally born on the Fourth of July", and 1,270 for "literally born on Christmas".
 * If we restrict the search to Google Books, there are nine uses of "literally born on the Fourth of July", excluding one obvious reprint; of these, four are referring to Calvin Coolidge and three (plus the reprint) are referring to Ron Kovic, mentioned above. I guess I just don't see this as very convincing. 98.170.164.88 23:37, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t think this sort of argument from inference is permitted for CFI purposes. We need actual, unambiguous quotes in the entry. — Sgconlaw (talk) 04:51, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

 * There are no citations for born on the 4th of July. I didn't find any at Google Books search for '"born on the 4th of July" -"born on the fourth of July"'. I don't think purported alternative forms get a free pass. DCDuring (talk) 22:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks a bit borderline but probably just enough to pass it. There’s a song by Wheatus with this phrase in the lyrics and if it’s sung by the lead singer then he apparently wasn’t actually born on July 4th:- and . --Overlordnat1 (talk) 03:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * How clear is it that this song is even using "born [...] on the fourth of July" to mean "Demonstratively patriotic about the United States"? The song doesn't really include anything else about American patriotism from which we could infer that. Also, there's the fact that there's an ellipsis in the middle of the phrase, but I don't know how much that really matters. 98.170.164.88 04:27, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The song lyrics seem to be talking about being macho like a patriotic soldier but I agree it’s not entirely clear. ‘Born on the 4th of July’ seems to be used at least as often in song lyrics in reference to being wild, like an exploding firework set off during Independence Day celebrations, but if we created that sense it probably wouldn’t be entirely unambiguous either. Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There's of course the grandaddy of them all, the chorus from, written by in 1904:
 * I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
 * A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
 * A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam,
 * Born on the Fourth of July.

 * The composer was (probably) born on the 4th of July, but the song isn't about him. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:10, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, many of the other uses are probably references to this. "Yankee Doodle Boy" is currently in the etymology section and on the citations page. The references to the song do exist, but use as an idiom (for people not literally born on the day) is pretty hard to find. As a heuristic counter to 's argument above, you'd think that "like he was born on the Fourth of July" would have Google hits if "born on the Fourth of July" was used as a figure of speech. But apparently the only hits for that phrase on the entire Web is the usage example we give on our entry, and other websites that mirror Wiktionary. If you change the pronoun to "she", there's one hit that actually looks like it may be promising. But it's referring to a woman who was literally singing the Cohan song, so it's not really strong evidence for broader use of the idiom. If people think this meets CFI, fair enough, I just wish we had better evidence for that. 98.170.164.88 04:27, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * But does that line in the song unambiguously mean “Demonstratively patriotic about the United States”? I don’t know; we seem to be struggling to find suitable quotations. — Sgconlaw (talk) 04:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * US TV programmers seem to believe that it means that, given that the movie  is principally shown around the Fourth of July. DCDuring (talk) 14:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no doubt that the song is about patriotism, but is the specific phrase supposed to mean "patriotic"? It's possible that it was just meant to refer to being born on Independence Day, which would still be indirectly associated with patriotism, but where the phrase is not used as a synonym for "patriotic".
 * There's a common phenomenon where an author uses a phrase in a literal way, and then later references to the quote use it in a figurative way. For example, in the New Testament the phrase is used literally, but it later gained a closely related figurative sense based on the Bible story. I think it would be wrong to claim that we should retroactively read the verse of John as using the idiom.
 * In this particular case, it seems pretty difficult to find examples where "born on the Fourth of July" unambiguously means "patriotic". 98.170.164.88 16:29, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you seen the movie? DCDuring (talk) 19:49, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * So this song, characterized in its WP article as "a patriotic song", first appearing in a 1904 musical characterized as "patriotic" in its WP article, more famously appearing in the wartime (1942) American film, for the premiere of which "[t]ickets were available only to those who bought war bonds is simply talking about a biographical detail of, the author of the song, said to be born on July 4 (actually July 3), as well as (probably just a geography lesson about the location of France and Belgium for Americans notoriously uninformed about world geography) and  (probably a simple description of the US flag for the benefit of soldiers and schoolchildren).
 * Right. DCDuring (talk) 20:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * For the record, my argument against counting this quotation was never that the song is about Cohan himself, as the other biographical details don't match (e.g., his mother's name was Helen/Nellie, not Ann Maria). It's possible that his real-life birthday did influence Cohan's choice of language, of course. But more to the point, I don't think it's 100% clear that you can replace "born on the Fourth of July" with "patriotic" in the song lyrics and (ignoring prosody) maintain the original meaning. That's one possible interpretation. But just because the theme of the song is patriotism, does not imply that everything in the song has to denotationally mean "patriotic". It could alternatively be an autobiographical statement made by the character Johnny Jones, with a literal meaning as well as a connotation of patriotism, much like Ron Kovic's usage of the term.
 * At this point though, I don't really care much; if others think this should pass, then I won't complain. I just wish we had three completely unambiguous uses, because it's really hard to find any. 98.170.164.88 02:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * As movement from literal to figurative use is a principal means by which words come to have new meanings, your argument would apply to almost all polysemic terms. DCDuring (talk) 21:32, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No one disputes that the song as a whole is patriotic, but it isn’t a good illustration that “born on the Fourth of July” has the specific idiomatic sense which our entry claims. If it did have such a clear sense you’d think there would be numerous attesting quotations. Yet here we are, trying to wring meanings from ambiguous song lyrics. I think this fails verification. — Sgconlaw (talk) 12:14, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Why is the song not an illustration of the context of the phrase that indicates indisputably that the phrase itself is about US patriotism? I don't recall this evaluative rubric being applied with such rigor to the determination of meaning from context for other phrases. DCDuring (talk) 14:18, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Should we then have an entry for real live nephew of one’s Uncle Sam as a term meaning “demonstratively patriotic about the United States”? All I’m seeing is the phrase born on the Fourth of July is used in patriotic contexts (book titles, song lyrics) but does not conclusively mean what is claimed in the entry. If there are such uses then by all means dig them up. But I’m not seeing them. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:02, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * If it were attestable, yes.
 * So, what does the expression mean when not literal? DCDuring (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

The Latin word "unicus" is not a very accurate translation of the English word "only", though I suppose that it is the closest possible translation. Llewyll 21:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

only
Rfd-redundant: Adjective: Singular; part of a relatively small number. "Singular" is redundant to "Alone in a category" and "the best". "Part of a relatively small number" is redundant to "Few". I am not even sure that "few" is a good sense of "only". DCDuring TALK 00:39, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

 * It's been discussed in the Etymology Sciptorium that this is a semantic loan from emphatic particles that exist in various Indian languages, such as . I've meant to add something to the entry, but the truth is I don't totally understand its usage, in part because I don't speak any Indian languages proficiently. I think "here only" is supposed to mean "right here" but don't know. Could use attention from someone who speaks Indian English. פֿינצטערניש (talk) 12:07, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

RFV discussion: June–July 2019
RFV adj sense 2:

 * 1) Alone in a category.
 * 2) Singularly superior; the best.
 * Motley's the only wear.
 * 1) Singularly superior; the best.
 * Motley's the only wear.
 * Motley's the only wear.
 * Motley's the only wear.
 * Motley's the only wear.

It seems to me that the "trombonist" example for sense 2 does not illustrate anything different from sense 1, i.e. that that person alone should be recruited. Yes, the statement as a whole may imply that that person is superior, but "only" does not itself mean this, or so it seems to me. I do not understand the Shakespeare quote. If sense 2 does exist I think we need a clearer example. Mihia (talk) 19:24, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The sense is real.
 * MWOnline has, as first definition, "unquestionably the best : peerless
 * is convinced that his team is the only one"
 * had, as fourth definition, "single in degree of excellence; special"
 * Oxford has, as a subsense, "Alone deserving consideration.
 * ‘it's simply the only place to be seen these days’"
 * AHD has, as second def, "Most suitable of all; superior or excellent
 * This is the only way to cook a good steak.
 * The AHD example appeals to me as not being readily subsumed under our first definition, ways to cook a good steak not being a natural category, though certainly construable as a category. DCDuring (talk) 20:45, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, the older cites seem to support a definition not quite the same as the way we use only now. Peerless and special seem somewhat different to me. DCDuring (talk) 20:48, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * To me, the function of "only" in "This is the only way to cook a good steak" seems the same as that in "He is the only doctor for miles". Out of all the possible ways/doctors, only one satisfies the requirement. You could just as well say "This is the only way to mess up cooking a steak". Even in "This is the only way to cook a steak", or other examples such as "it's simply the only place to be seen these days", the sense of "superior" or "best" is in my opinion conveyed as a result of an implied statement of objective, rather than by the word "only" itself. Mihia (talk) 21:58, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * It did subsequently occur to me that "This is the only way to cook a good steak" can be interpreted in two ways. In the first interpretation, "good" is a explicit statement of the desired cooking objective. This is the way I naturally read it. In the second interpretation, "good" describes the type of steak before it is cooked. In this case there is an implied statement of cooking objective ("if you want to ...", "in order to ..." etc.). Mihia (talk) 22:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I usually defer to professional lexicographers' assertion of a definition, though I may want to reword it; label it obsolete, archaic, or dated; or qualify it with a context label. I am also loathe to rely on interpretations that require additional context not in the usage example. It is usually easier to distinguish definitions when the collocations for the definitions are sharply different. Sadly, it is hard to produce sharply different sets of collocations for a word like only without a well-annotated corpus with KWIC display software.
 * IMO the only doctor for miles would usually mean that there was not another doctor for miles, though it could mean "the best doctor in the area". Simlarly, This is the only way to cook a good steak. probably means "no other way of cooking does justice to a good steak ("piece of meat")", though it could mean "there is no other way of cooking that leads to a good steak." The interpretation that there exists no other way (besides the one just mentioned) to cook a good steak., which would be definition 1, is quite implausible. DCDuring (talk) 02:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm afraid I disagree. I see two ways to interpret the "steak" sentence, both of which are definition 1. I do not agree that definition 2 applies. Mihia (talk) 10:28, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

helluv
Really? bd2412 T 19:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * No. Probably thinking of the informal adjective helluva. SemperBlotto 19:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Apparently; has 59 hits. It seems to be a back-formation from helluva: — recognizing the undefined: as reflecting the indefinite article, then diverging in interpretations of the remaining helluv::
 * in some uses, taking it to be an adverb (perhaps on the model of quite:, where you can have both "he's quite a guy" and "I quite misunderstood").
 * in some uses, taking it to be the non-count counterpart (since undefined: is only used with count nouns).
 * in some uses, simply writing undefined: as undefined:.
 * All very odd.
 * —Ruakh TALK 19:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it's more readily a back-formation from hella (primarily N CA slang), as a user of helluv may be assuming that to be the "fully pronounced" version of the contraction-sounding hella. In any case, it's the same as hella, and was likely altered from that useful intensifier. -- Thisis0 21:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * As I see it, most, say 15, of the 20 or so usable examples of the 59 raw hits are clearly an attempt to capture the change in emphasis in informal speech between "a HELL of a" and "a helluva". There are also elisions of "the hell of" as in "helluv it" ("the hell of it") and elision of "hell have" as in "where the helluv you been" ("where the hell have you been"). I took a stab at sharpening the entry with multiple senses. I also found three quotes that I can't parse out. DCDuring 23:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh. I don't know how to designate the PoS for what I read as elisions of two different parts of speech combined into a phrase, especially "the hell of it" (noun?) and "hell have" (verb?). DCDuring 23:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have entered my readings of various elisions as senses. Maybe they should be considered parts of different (somewhat speculative) etymologies. There seem to me to be multiple elision-etymologies that end up with the same spelling and then another word, not parsable as an elision, that users seem to have taken from some of all of the other senses. I think I have all the pieces (maybe too many), but the entry may not be organized right. DCDuring 23:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Your adjective sense 3, and adverb intensifier sense are those which came from NorCal's hella. But indeed, different writers tend to use all possible contractions to represent speech, as shown searching BGC for "where the hella you been". -- Thisis0 15:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Whatsay we keep the entry with the one more-or-less cited sense and put the other senses on the citations page with their citations and provide some usage note to help people interpret possible uses of the term. DCDuring TALK 18:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

 * 2) * 2001, George Alexander, Houston Press, “Play Ball!” :
 * To fine-tune the comparison a bit further, sports bars are closer in spirit to the type of gay bar known to habitués as a wrinkle bar. There, paunchy, pasty, out-of-shape guys go to drink and watch really buff guys on the TV screens. Sure, in a sports bar, TV is always understood to signify "television" rather than "transvestite," and the terms "tight end" and "wide receiver" conjure up different mental images in each place.

Protestant work ethic
The first sense is of the "value". The RfVd sense (in paraphrase) is the idea that Protestant countries work harder than others. Although I have graded papers that may use the term that way, I don't think that it is verifiable. DCDuring 15:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Really? I'd have thought that was even what we call "clearly widespread use". (Remember that we include terms like vomitorium: whose senses reflect erroneous understandings of the world; the question isn't whether Protestant countries work harder than others, but whether the term "Protestant work ethic" is an idiom or set phrase expressing this belief. I'd say that it is.) —Ruakh TALK 22:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, I guess I see what you're saying: the term is used due to that notion, but doesn't itself refer to that notion. I think I agree. —Ruakh TALK 23:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The definition could be improved. This phrase has been used to refer to Anabaptists of industrializing England in a James Burke documentary series on British television.

 * Referring to the work of Bourdieu, Zukin (2004,38) notes that shopping is much more than the purchase of commodities

2001, By Rachel Pain, Introducing Social Geographies. p. 26 Box 2.8
 * []
 * In human geography "commodities" usually refers to goods and services which are bought and sold. The simplest commodities are those produced by the production system just before they are sold.

1995, by James G. Carrier. Gifts and Commodities: Exchange and Western Capitalism Since 1700, p.122
 * []
 * If a key part of shopping is the conversion of anonymous commodities into possessions, shopping is a cultural as much as an economic activity.

 * Maybe I should have RfD-sense'd it instead. Sense 1: "Anything movable that is bought and sold." All of the above citations fit in that meaning. Sense 2 is the one that I don't get. I have put all of the quotations under the first sense for now. The RfV sense would include free goods, like air and acorns, as well as intangibles, like shelter and companionship.

Talk:shithouse

shithouse
rfv-sense: "(Australian, vulgar, colloquial) an outside toilet. Such facilities are generally bad, and thus the term 'shithouse' was created.  Unlike some conjoined words, this term does not imply a collaboration of the two terms, shit and house. Shit is used to imply the low quality or distastefullness, and house is to emphasise the large and enclosed nature of the facility. Used in situations of disgust, hatred or badness."

The psychology described above doesn't fit with my experience. I also thought that shithouse was more widely used to just mean "outhouse", perhaps conveying a pejorative sense of the condition of said facility. I will have moved the lengthy material to a usage note, but am not sure of its accuracy. DCDuring 23:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The pejorative sense in my experience is conveyed by describing (eg) a slum apartment as a "cesspit" or a "shit hole" (meaning the hole beneath the outhouse). --Una Smith 05:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Definitely means an outside toilet, especially one using a can to collect waste and not connected to the sewer system. Widespread usage (although not in polite company). --Dmol 17:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

To an American, in the shithouse can mean literally in the outhouse. But it also can mean you are in trouble with (eg) your wife and metaphorically you have been banned from her bed / bedroom / house. Being in the shithouse is worse than being in the doghouse. --Una Smith 05:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * There is plenty hypo-chemistry. Any salt in which the central atom of the complex anion is in a lower oxidation state than normal can be called that way, but the nomenclature is a bit archaic. hyposulfite and thiosulfate are not the same but they are both pretty good reducing agents. I guess either would do Jcwf 01:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Here (at page 69) is IUPAC's characterization of the use of "hypo-". As I read it, Jcwf's statement that it is out of date seems supported.

 * Wait a minute. There is no special CFI for a proper noun per se. This is not a company name or a brand name. Why does it need more than ordinary CFI? It looks just like Domain Name System. It's like IMDb and Oxford English Dictionary, except it's apparently not commercial. "dictionary.com" could be includable if it met CFI for trademarks or companies, AFAIK. Straighten me out on this if I'm wrong. DCDuring 00:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Isn't WordNet as much a word as Wikipedia (from a linguistic point of view)? I would keep it. It's useful to be able to get information about brand names (especially pronunciation, but also, sometimes, etymology, translations, etc.) We should apply normal rules to brand names, except that I would add a requirement for a minimum number of independent attestations from sources other than the company owning the brand name. Lmaltier 21:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:pluto

pluto
The neologism verb "pluto". The Dialect Society's efforts to promote this word and itself seems to have failed. The uses are almost entirely references to the Dialect Society press release. "plutoing" and "plutoed" uses are rare. It is tedious to try to extract "to pluto" and "plutos" uses from the "to Pluto" and "Plutos" uses. I hope someone has some good ideas for how to verify this. DCDuring 17:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We've already discussed this one. --EncycloPetey 21:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh. When? How can I get a look? Was it determined that it didn't need citations? Is there some index where I could look for discussions of a given page? DCDuring 22:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This entry was only created a month ago. DCDuring 22:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It was around a lot longer under Pluto but got moved a month ago. sewnmouthsecret 22:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, DCD may be right. I thought I remembered this being discussed back when Pluto was first demoted, but I could be wrong.  I can't find evidence of the discussion I thought I remembered. --EncycloPetey 22:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw a discussion about how to handle the plutoing of Pluto; I didn't find one about the new verb, although I would be surprised if it didn't come up among such a distinguished group of language mavens. In Jan. 2007 the American Dialect Society selected "plutoed" to be their word of the year . (I had thought it was earlier.) It hasn't gotten too much use yet, as charming as it may be. But it may be that I don't know how to look creatively enough. It would have to be in Groups and News, because book and scholarly articles still take a while to get into print. DCDuring 04:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Note: plutoed, plutoing, plutos, Plutos, Plutoing, Plutoed all need to be deleted with this. (Move to WT:LOP; passing fad that didn't stick.)  --Connel MacKenzie 18:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I've found a citation.

 * Maxwell, Kerry. "Word of the Week Archive: Pluto." 10 Jan 2007 03 Mar 2008 .

 * I can produce others, if you'd like. Teh Rote 22:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Yup, we need at least three uses of the word — actual uses, mind, not just someone mentioning the word or defining it — spread over at least a full year. —Ruakh TALK 02:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
Upon scouring Google News, I found two results unrelated to the coinage. This totals four citations - two from books, two from news, see Citations:pluto. Would that not qualify it for readdition? Teh Rote 18:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't believe so, as the two older defs seem to mean something different than the newer meanings (although I can't be sure, I'm having a difficult time interpreting the older ones). In any case, Pluto's demotion was a recent event, and I would thus think that any quote supporting a usage relating to that would have to be a recent one.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 19:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * IMHO, the 1828 cite is best taken as of "out Pluto", which we would now spell "out-Pluto". "The hellish scene in the kitchen out-helled hell." It is the kind of use that one can give to many proper names with a distinguishing characteristic: K-2 out-Everests Everest.
 * In the 1848 cite "Plutoed" might mean "sent to the underworld", "sent to oblivion", critically panned. What follows the excerpted part in the linked page (thanks Teh Rote) indicates that the play would be called in the US a turkey. DCDuring TALK 19:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Aren't two of those cites for Pluto (capitalized)? RJFJR 19:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's an alternative spelling. Now, I managed to find one more citation, which brings it to three for the lowercase (possibly qualifying) and two for the uppercase (not qualifying). As DCDuring mentioned, the second old cite seems to show that the described play failed - that would be the meaning we are looking for. If I could get some approval, we can re-add the entry. Teh Rote 03:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The Arizona reader comment letter is another mention " [...] have been "plutoed" (devalued) ... " No usage in 2008 yet. DCDuring TALK 11:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I thought the sense of plutoed that we're talking about has to do with "demotion", not failure. "Pluto" didn't fail as a planet, nor did it have an author who failed.
 * AFAICT WT:CFI requires that each spelling of a lemma have its three cites, thought we are not usually picky about alternative spellings that are shown on the lemma entry without having their own full entry. DCDuring TALK 10:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, if the etymology of the term is the 2006 demotion, it is difficult to see how the 19th century cites could be relevant. DCDuring TALK 10:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It is possible that the 19th century cite was someone who attempted to coin the word relating to the Roman god but failed. I can't find any more book or news cites, so I'll start scouring Google groups when I find the time (busy with summer reading today) Teh Rote 15:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * After finishing my summer reading, I checked Google Groups and found two more, one from 2007 and one from 2008. That stretches further over a year- it now seems to qualify (At least I hope so, because this is all I could find). Any takers? Teh Rote 01:42, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It seems to have limped across the finish line. Dismissing the pre-2006 cites for the main sense and the mention (with quotes), there would seem to be four valid cites, apparently spanning a year. It might still warrant a neologism tag. It is amazing that all of the hoopla surrounding the word could only generate the four usage cites. DCDuring TALK 03:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I have re-added it with the citations you specified, leaving the other citations on the citations page. Whew...just barely squeaked in. Teh Rote 17:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Rfv noun sense. I've cited the adjective sense, but can't seem to cite the noun. Perhaps someone else can.—msh210 ℠ 00:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't "-ist" normally form a noun referring to believers or practicioners of the corresponding "-ism"? Aren't your adjectival quotes exemplars of nouns used as adjectives? Does one need to document both noun and adjective use of a noun in English, which is rife with such usage. DCDuring 07:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Normally, "-ist" forms a noun, and "-ist" as an adjective would just be an attributive form of that noun. But words like racist, sexist, and ageist — of which the instant word is one — are exceptions in my opinion: they're really adjectives. That is, "racist joke" does not mean "joke of or about a racist" (as "lawyer joke" means "joke about a lawyer" and "comedian joke" can mean "joke of a comedian"); rather, it means "joke that is racist". (Note too that there's no adjective *"racistic" (or the others).) So, yes, we have two separate senses: noun and adjective. And the question here is whether we can document the noun sense; I haven't been able to.—msh210 ℠ 20:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
