sit on it

This meaning seems to fail the independence criteria. It also has precluded the "delay by inaction" meaning by promoting an obsolete catch phrase. --Connel MacKenzie 21:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd be happy to put it the "delay by inaction" sense with a separate "etymology" and make the RfD an RfD-sense. Or do we have to wait out the RfD process? "Sit on it" is certainly an important idiom though few would fail to get the meaning from context, I think. DCDuring 22:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

No need to wait...converting from full rfd to rfd-sense is perfectly fine for this, I'd think. --Connel MacKenzie 05:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

sit on it

Sense: To wait or delay. This seems to be sit on + it. DCDuring TALK 00:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, redundant to {{&lit|sit on|it}}. --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

The usage example should stay, I think, under the {{&lit}}. DCDuring TALK 11:26, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, but the first def would have to link sit on in addition to separate sit and on. DAVilla 05:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Good catch, thanks. I'll try to remember that in similar circumstances. DCDuring TALK 13:58, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
