全速前進

• Is the English expression full speed ahead an SOP? Japanese dictionaries treat 全速前進 as an independent expression, so I don't see how it would be different for Chinese. --benlisquare_T•C 10:18, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

  In English this is the oral version of a standard command issued from the bridge to the engine room, which could be transmitted by the ship’s engine order telegraph.[1] While the lettering on dial has AHEAD and FULL, and in writing the command is usually named “Full ahead” without the word “speed”, when used figuratively, the term is invariably the three-word collocation ”full speed ahead”.  --Lambiam 13:47, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

• Delete. This is a common collocation, not a single lexical unit. It is not in any of the monolingual dictionaries. ---> Tooironic (talk) 00:44, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Delete per Tooironic. It's completely SoP. The English expression is SoP because it's kind of an imperative without a verb, which is unusual. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

• Delete as creator, I'm convinced per the above. --benlisquare_T•C 06:40, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
