go in

To enter; to join in; to begin participation in.

Perhaps I am being slow, but the only meaning of "go in" that I can visualise is the literal one of "enter", e.g. "I opened the door and went in". Can anyone provide usage examples of where it means "to join in" or "to begin participation in"? Mihia (talk) 02:21, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I've added some examples to the entry. DTLHS (talk) 02:26, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Aren't these examples of go in for? Mihia (talk) 02:39, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes. I don't know if it can be used without "for". DTLHS (talk) 02:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Then I would prefer this use to be covered at "go in for", with a "see also" link from "go in". I'm not sure that "go in" has a usefully separable meaning in the idiomatic expression "go in for". Mihia (talk) 03:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

“go in”, in OneLook Dictionary Search. surprised me by showing that there are a few non-SoP definitions of go in. What we have is three definitions in one line, none of them substitutable in the citations we have. I think we need to add non-SoP definitions so that we cover the term as well as competing "unabridged" dictionaries. DCDuring TALK 03:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I added the sense related to the sun for one. Mihia (talk) 03:52, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Mihia deleted this sense back in December 2016, without marking this RFV-failed, so I am doing it now. Kiwima (talk) 00:29, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

half of it goes in tax

Is this idiom used in half of it goes in tax? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:55, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
