stone cold[edit]

Both senses given. See (deprecated template usage) stone and two (or more) of the senses of cold, including "frigid" and "absolute". DCDuring TALK 12:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly redirect to [[stone#Adverb]]? A redirect to entry as a whole is inadequate. DCDuring TALK 12:29, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dare I point out that stonecold appears in Joyce's well-known Ulysses? —Ruakh_TALK 22:54, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not really in favour of Joyce getting the "well-known work" exemption, since a huge part of his writing was based on messing around with words and creating new ones; however, you can always stick nonce on it. Equinox ◑ 23:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How can anyone tell what meaning it has to others based on a single citation? DCDuring TALK 23:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

O.K., sheesh, fine, y'all are no fun. In that case I'll say that stonecold appears in at least half a dozen independent non-Joycean books: A B C D E F. —Ruakh_TALK 23:46, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe! Consequently struck as kept per COALMINE. - -sche (discuss) 23:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
