Car scoop
edit"An opening in a hood/bonnet or other body panel to admit air, usually for cooling the engine." Doesn't "scoop" also refer to openings to release air? --190.135.70.159 21:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Rfv-sense "To consume an alcoholic beverage." Does this exist? Is it specific to a region, dialect or vernacular? I have never heard it. I have a theory that every word in every language has been used at least once to describe either sex or drug use, so likely this is a thing somewhere. Also I bet you could cite some guy somewhere talking about "scooping" some lady. - TheDaveRoss 19:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- When this was first added back in 2008, it was labelled ‘Scottish colloquial’, so Scottish sources might be the place to look. This Scots dialect dictionary gives a sense for scoop meaning ‘to drink off, quaff’, so it probably does exist, but I have no idea if it’s attestable. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 23:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Direct Object + Indirect Object
editI've also found scooping the hottest story of the year. Could an indirect object be added too? That is scoop somebody something? --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
