RFV discussion: March–May 2017

[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Is there really a figurative sense? All I can find are baseball analogies, but which still sit quite clearly in the realm of baseball (and the occasional pun like the joke about drunk base players). Kiwima (talk) 20:09, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is certainly potential for this phrase to be used figuratively, but the same could be said of almost any word or phrase. It doesn't mean these need to be listed when the figurative sense follows in an obvious or self-evident way. Only figurative uses that have developed a clear, strong identity need to be mentioned, in my opinion. Mihia (talk) 02:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
