Wording objected to. DCDuring TALK 21:34, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
- Is it a verb or a phrase? It seems to be worded like a verb, with the header 'phrase'. Also, is it an imperative? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:02, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- It seems to me to be an ellipsis for a phrase with a verb in it, which missing verb is a natural part of the definition. It doesn't inflect like a verb. It seems to be used just like an imperative form of a verb. There are others of this structure, like eyes right. DCDuring TALK 11:40, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- ...and one side which is, oddly, listed under a "Noun" header.—msh210℠ (talk) 19:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Couldn't one argue it's most commonly an interjection? — This comment was unsigned.
- Interjection?! Yes, you could and many do. I'd prefer that we follow a definition of interjection that was limited to expressions of emotion, whose meaning is not covered by other parts of speech or the phrase pseudo-PoS. Many words can be used interjectively (?) such as "interjection" at the start of this. DCDuring TALK 15:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- Striked. Removed first sense as NISOP --WF back from hols (talk) 10:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
