just because[edit]

In its purported idiomatic sense it looks to me like (deprecated template usage) just + (deprecated template usage) because. "Just" is certainly optional. It might make a lovely referral to a phrasebook wiki. Here, it seems to be, at best, a hard redirect to (deprecated template usage) because. DCDuring TALK 13:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

The first definition is unnecessary; that one is just (deprecated template usage) just + (deprecated template usage) because. The second definition is not covered in the definition of (deprecated template usage) because. Mcornelius 18:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

But would that be an indication of a need for [[just because]] rather than a reason to improve [[because]]? In fact, it would seem that sense 3 of (deprecated template usage) because is the relevant meaning. DCDuring TALK 18:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hard redirect, I suppose.​—msh210 (talk) 01:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
