From rfv. Does this exist? Should it be defined at stairstep if it does? Needs formatting. SemperBlotto 21:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've heard it used mostly as a verb, sometimes an adjective, but never as stairstep. The metaphor fits for much more than rectangular city blocks though. (When I first saw this listed here, I expected to see a description of exercising on a stairmaster.) I'll look for cites if needed. --Connel MacKenzie T C 23:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have found stair-stepping as a definition for a chart of stock market movements, and stairstepping as a definition for a defence in a team game of some sort, (the article was meaningless to me) Have moved to rfc. Andrew massyn 15:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oh yes, there is also stair-stepping in go, (the game) when the plays "build" a staircase in one diagonal direction. --Connel MacKenzie 19:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
