粵

Chinese. Rfd-sense: "(informal, punning) Alternative form of 越 (“more”), usually in reference to the Cantonese language." Pun usage. – wpi (talk) 08:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Weak keep (biased as the one who added the sense): Rather common, and WT:CFI doesn't mention puns or wordplay. —Fish bowl (talk) 04:09, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Wpi: Hi! What would be the reason to delete this? — Sartma ^{【𒁾𒁉 ● 𒊭 𒌑𒊑𒀉𒁲】} 11:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Sartma: This is just a homophonic pun between 粵／粤 (jyut⁶, “Cantonese (language)”) and 越 (jyut⁶, “more”). – wpi (talk) 11:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Wpi: Ok, that I think I understand, but is it widespread enough to be encountered online, etc.? If that's the case, I would still keep it. I would have not known unless I read that definition... — Sartma ^{【𒁾𒁉 ● 𒊭 𒌑𒊑𒀉𒁲】} 14:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
