get your coat love, you've pulled

I don't think we should have pickup lines in Wiktionary --Felonia 14:24, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Though, it's not really sum of parts. I'd actually keep it, even I'm a bit surprised to hear myself say that. Well, see myself type that. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

do you come here often, can I buy you a drink, did it hurt when you fell from heaven, nice legs, what time do they open, is that a ladder in your stockings or the stairway to heaven are among my most favouritest other lines. To be considered. --Felonia 21:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

"is that XXX in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" where XXX can be replaced with a million variations, i just would not know which one to pick Mutante 22:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

How would you say in German: Is that a Currywurst in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me? --Felonia 07:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Keep; looks non-SoP, so what is the problem? Felonia is Wonderfool. --Dan Polansky 14:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Heh. Then Rising Sun, also Wonderfool, created the entry that he now wants to delete. Equinox ◑ 15:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this was (of course) before Felonia got an indefinite block. Perhaps it's a joke on his part, create the entry as Rising Sun, then nominate it for deletion as Felonia. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:08, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Let's keep it and end the deletion stuff! — This unsigned comment was added by 88.161.129.150 (talk).

get your coat love, you've pulled

Tagged with {{delete}} by Thrissel (talk • contribs), but it passed RFD once before. I'm not sure myself. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 21:32, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I voted keep in that debate, and on reflection, I still tend towards keep. I suppose it's quite literal, but it's not as if you'd say this to someone only if you knew in advance they had a coat. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

The {{delete}} tag is definitely bad form for an entry that has passed an RFD before. Will give Thrissel the benefit of the doubt and assume he hadn't checked the entry history. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I haven't checked the history but I should have noticed its talkpage wasn't red-linking. Mea culpa, sorry. Personally I see it as an obvious SOP but I certainly won't flag a dead horse. Still, checking the history now I see it's also always been in that Phrasebook. You guys wanna keep it there as well? Just curious. --Thrissel (talk) 00:27, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Flag a dead horse eh? I quite like that. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

On second thoughts, so do I... --Thrissel (talk) 18:59, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• Delete, SOP, not phrasebook-worthy material. —Angr 15:51, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
• Delete per Angr. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 18:13, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
• Delete The sense of pull is apparently the second oldest, second most common, or second most generally meritorious one, per [[pull#Verb]]. DCDuring TALK 18:32, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
• Keep. I would like someone to make it explicit what makes this a semantic sum of parts. Given the second definition of pull ("to persuade (someone) to have sex with one ") and the 4th or 5th definition of love, this would get rendered as: "get your coat, person dear to my heart, you've persuaded me to have sex with you". Is this used to address only sweethearts? Is this actually intended as an innuendo, meaning some people will not understand or will be unsure they understand the true intention? Is coat really involved? From looking at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090324132200AAgOJZw, it seems someone wanted to know what it means. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

  It is clearly definition #5 of love. Having never heard this expression before, I was able to understand what it means simply by looking up pull and finding its definition #2. If that is not proof enough that it is SOP, then we need to redefine SOP. --WikiTiki89 21:24, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

  Almost any expression actually used in speech is somewhat elliptical and uses specific senses of polysemic words much more likely to be understood by the actual hearers than any eavesdroppers. No dictionary can hope to document all of these. Even if documented they are extremely unlikely to be accessible to human users. If there is some thought that we are working to make it easier for machines, then I want to get paid for my contributions. DCDuring TALK 22:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

  Move to WT:BJAODN or Transwiki to WikiPikup. DCDuring TALK 22:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

  By the way, the Yahoo Answers answer that Dan Polansky linked to seems to say that to "pull" does not necessarily imply intercourse. Maybe our definition of pull should be adjusted? --WikiTiki89 22:20, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
