They have that in the 'history' bit. Like 'it used to mean this, but we
got clever since then'.
Bear's just disnumerate today, isn't he?

 

No it doesn't. It has the newer usage followed by the traditional
usage.

But, but...language *evolves*!

Are you 100% sure about that?

 

Reaches bottom of thread........

 

Not now love, grown up talk.

 

Is it not preferable that it does so logically?
It's a bit weird for -oid suffix to mean one thing in almost all cases,
but factoid being a special case meaning 'small fact'?
We already stole the -ette ending for small things, couldn't we use that?
Besides which, if it's a small fact why the **** are we wasting breath
on it? Get some proper facts and talk about those.

 

Sorry Grandad, I always get overexcited round christmas time.

 

Werthers?

 

Hmmm...rules of English grammar and logical...

On ukrm on a Friday afternoon! You're havin' a giraffe, aintcha?

 

Ooh, yes please if you're offering.
Are they similar to butterscotch? I only ever used to see butterscotch
around christmas. But it does for the teeth!

 

This is my point, why make it worse?!

 

Pop yourself on my knee then.

 

Confucius, he say: "girl who sit on jockey's knee get 'hot tip'"

 

In communiqué

Please sir, me sir. Is it what they do in the design department of a
mint?

Rememeber to post about it too.

"To coin a phase", is what sparkies do when the change drops out of
their pocket onto a busbar.
Often accompanied by the smell of hot shit.

 

Chambers hedges its bets:
"an unprovable statement which has achieved unquestioning acceptance by
frequent repetition; an individual item of information, often trivial."

They give the derivation as fact + -oid, but define -oid as
"denoting (something) that resembles or has the shape of, as in anthropoid,
asteroid, deltoid."

P'raps you should write them, too.
