Talk:loaded
My dictionary sais term 3 (possessing great wealth) is tipically British while term 4 (drunk) is an Americanism. Is there any source to prove it? Ferike333 20:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Tagged but not listed: a whole four adjective senses:
- Burdened by some heavy load; packed.
- (of a projectile weapon) Having a live round of ammunition in the chamber; armed.
- (baseball) Pertaining to a situation where there is a runner at each of the three bases.
- (gaming, of a die or dice, also used figuratively) Weighted asymmetrically, and so biased to produce predictable throws.
I guess one would need to show how they're actual adjectives, rather than being the past participle of load. -- Liliana • 01:16, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Pingku has already found cites supporting adjectivity (for the first and fourth senses) that look good to me. DCDuring TALK 01:48, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Move to rfv. I'd instinctively say that loaded has at least one adjectival sense. Apparently that's already supported by citations, so I'll shut up now. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

This entry showed only numerous senses of an "adjective" and omitted the verb. Only some of of the senses would be true adjectives. I hope this doesn't have to go to RfV. DCDuring TALK 02:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
