What's up with this article? Is it blank for a joke or for a reason? — Hippietrail 00:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
unbroken: lacking any features or openings[edit]
Is the following meaning already added? If so, which one?
"lacking any features or openings" a sheer, blank rock wall; a blank corridor; not a cloud in the blank blue sky (Microsoft® Encarta® 2009.) --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:29, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- The sky is "empty, void"; the rock wall is "lacking characteristics which give variety; uniform". Equinox ◑ 13:44, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
"She is a blank, blank woman"[edit]
Saw this odd usage in J. H. Riddell's The Uninhabited House. The woman is by no means lacking energy or imagination — she is a hot-tempered garrulous Irishwoman — and the person who calls her "blank" is a lawyer who dislikes her. Possibly it means dense/stupid? Equinox ◑ 12:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
