Cake

edit

What about cake-eating makes someone an idiot? I think we should change the example to a less specific situation.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 01:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I changed it, although I think that the problem was not that it was too specific, but that the second part didnt follow logically from the first. Soap 00:40, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

phrase

edit

I changed this from a verb to a phrase as per go jump in the lake, go figure, and other verb+verb derivations I suspect exist alongside these. I think this is better than claiming that two fully functional verbs combine together to produce a single almost entirely defective verb. However, I see looking further back that this was once listed as an interjection, and I think it works as an interjection as well, ..... they're not well-defined, but most interjections seem to have in common either that they are seldom interpreted literally, and that if a literal use exists, it is context-dependent (as with grow up).

Grammatical problems in the second example

edit

The second example given has some grammatical issues. Its first sentence has asked where it should have ask, and I honestly can't say with confidence that I know what the second sentence means. Modus Ponens (talk) 04:57, 12 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
