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.

  There does not seem to be consensus on that - I have seen it refer to the barrier between theatre people and critics or audience members, the barrier between the theatre and the outside "real" world, and any number of psychological barriers. In an entirely different sphere, it is used by designers to refer to the cieling as a design element. Kiwima (talk) 22:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

• in excess of - definition

• intestine war - OneLook - Google (Books • Groups • Scholar) - WP Library - apparent synonym of civil war, as said in its entry. Is also a redirect on Wikipedia to "civil war". However, it may have a slightly different meaning, as this source from Books says "But if there were war to-day between two Australian colonies, that would not be intestine war in the sense in which the American civil war was intestine war." suggesting that intestine war may be more intense?

As I read "The present and future of the Australasian colonies" (1883) from which that quote comes, the author is arguing that Australasian colonies are separate from one another, notwithstanding their relationship with Britain. In other words, since Australia and, say, New Zealand are not intestine (“within the same state country”), a war between them would not be civil war. Cnilep (talk) 00:54, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Here's my proposed definition: Flexible clause in job description that allows management to expand specified duties an employee is expected to perform. This is generally preferred by supervisors, and opposed by stronger unions.
  • Possible usage example is in the candidate entry.
  • I've created the entry, but I'm enough of a newbie that I don't know how to over-ride the default of 'plural' since the idiom has the word 'duties' in it.

  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).
