See also: the Tea room, where you can post the definition of a word you're trying to find, and hopefully someone will help you find it.

See also: Wiktionary:Requested entries (English)/diacritics and ligatures

Section: 0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Have an entry request? Add it to the list – but please:

Consider creating a citations page with your evidence that the word exists instead of simply listing it here
Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.
If the entry already exists, but seems incomplete or incorrect, do not add it here; add a request template to the entry itself to ask someone to fix the problem, e.g. {{rfp}} or {{rfe}} for pronunciation or etymology respectively.
— Note also that such requests, like the information requested, belong on the base form of a word, not on inflected forms.

Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)

There are a few things you can do to help:

Add glosses or brief definitions.
Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.

For inflected languages, if you see inflected forms (plurals, past tenses, superlatives, etc.) indicate the base form (singular, infinitive, absolute, etc.) of the requested term and the type of inflection used in the request.
For words in languages that don’t use Latin script but are listed here only in their romanized form, please add the correct form in the native script.
Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them – it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

Requested-entry pages for other languages: Category:Requested entries.

full ride
full-ride scholarship in grading university essays this fine afternoon, I've come to realize that the term, as frequently used in English language, seems to have at least several different senses, to the great consternation of one particular freshman who is unhappy, having thought for "eight years" that "full-ride" covered room & board, books, supplies, etc. rather than, as they have come to find out, covering only tuition. At any rate, it seems a rather widely-used term, and it would be quite useful to have a Wiktionary entry on the word(s)/phrase/combination. How it came about. How it is used. etc. Cheers.

KTV parlour - OneLook - Google (Books • Groups • Scholar) - WP Library
No more obvious from its parts than beer parlour, beauty parlour, betting parlor, funeral parlor, ice cream parlor, massage parlor, pizza parlour, sky parlour, sun parlor - each of which gets its own entry here. For example is it intended to invoke a pejorative connotation linked to "massage parlour"?

It's not a hoax, but a folk etymology. The original 1450 spelling of the container (and hence the clay) is cited as "pygg" in the OED, but they suggest that this was just the skin of the pig used as a container, before such containers started being made of clay (in the West).

It is only a [second-hander] who could conceive of such absurdity as hoping to win an intellectual argument by hinting: “But people won’t like you!” [19]
