Appropriate?

[edit]

I'm wondering if this page is an appropriate place to collect colloquial expressions? It seems that somewhere in either Wiktionary or Wikipedia, we should be collecting colloquial expressions, but I can't seem to find a category by that name, or even an article (although I created a stub). Has this one just fallen through the cracks? KellyCoinGuy

Pointlessly Selfreferential

[edit]

The article entitled English phrases includes in its list of English phrases "English phrases" which opens/re-opens the article entitled English phrases. There is no meaning given to "English phrases" such as "Double Dutch" might reveal so I propose to remove "English phrases" from the list in the article entitled English phrases.SilasW 18:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge suggestion

[edit]

This seems simlar to the Category "English idioms" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:English_idioms). perhaps the two lists should be merged —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.107.70.147 (talk) 21:47, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to My World

[edit]

May wish to add this phrase: "welcome to my world". I couldnt' find a definition anywhere. Meaning: "To denote that one does not have an emphatic appreciation of the speaker's predicament." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcorkett (talkcontribs) 06:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Words and phrases by language is itself a category with Category:Phrases. — Robert Greer (talk) 00:53, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
