  • What determines the meaning of words? - Straight Dope
    You have completely missed the point Of course meaning derives from usage, but usage within a culture establishes consensus meaning That is to say, words have objective meaning within a usage community - i e within a dialect, within a culture
  • What does Ten-fold mean? - Factual Questions - Straight Dope
    Well, it’s a bit more than “the general consensus ” It’s more like “every use on record except one website and you ” Sounds to me like a classic case of “false etymology,” where people try to imagine how a word or phrase came to be and they supply something that sounds logical (“Hey, if you fold it ten times…”) without actually knowing the real origin of the word or term
  • Meaning of African-American Word Freak. - Straight Dope
    For some time now, I sometimes hear African Americans use the word “freak” (as a noun–judging how I heard an AA woman use the term on tv, I am pretty sure the verb form means fellatio [but please correct me if I am wrong on this]) I guess you don’t hear people using the word too much anymore But in the 1970s and early 80s, it was quite popular It was esp well-known in Rick James
  • What does within the hour mean? - Straight Dope
    … as opposed to “within an hour” Say it’s 2:36 PM right now and someone says “I need an answer from you within the hour ” Does that mean they expect an answer before 3:00 PM, which is only 24 minutes away? Or does it mean they expect an answer by 3:36 PM, one hour from now? If it’s the latter, isn’t that exactly the same thing as saying “within an hour”?
  • Whats Def Leppard singing at the beginning of Rock of Ages?
    Bordelond-- this has been asked before here and I think the consensus was that it was german-sounding gibberish Montfort-- where did you get that? I don’t think I agree that any of those words sound much like that (at least not with all those G sounds)
  • What do the letters SQ stand for on a menu? - Straight Dope
    When the price for a particular item on the menu changes more rapidly than they’d like to print menus, the price is listed as SQ, which basically means ask someone Does anyone know what these letters stand for? It’s driving me crazy
  • The low spark of high heeled boys? - Straight Dope
    Here’s the thing Winwood was 16 or 17 yrs old when he wrote this In those days, street slang for heroin was ‘boy’ and for cocaine was ‘girl’ High heel boy refers to a mixture of heroin and coke, commonly called a speedball The ‘low spark’ is a description of the physical feeling brought on by injecting the speedball
  • Nuances of meaning between “assuming” and “provided”
    In the following two examples, is it possible to replace “assuming” with “provided” – and vice versa – without changing the meaning of the sentences? Or are these two conjunctions nuanced in meaning? Incidentally, I was wondering which is the more commonly used: “provided” or “providing”? Many thanks Man A: So theoretically we could get in through the sewers Woman
  • Sovereign Citizens-- Please tell me this is fake
    The point of the movie, and the story, is that these were not criminals in the usual meaning of the term They were committed sovereign citizens I’ll take a criminal any day over one of these idiots, at least the criminal is operating in the same consensus reality
  • Draw the blinds means? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope
    OP here Well the consensus is very clear Thank you all FYI my confused take on “draw the blinds” as potentially meaning “open the blinds” was by analogy to “draw the sting” and other similar idiomatic uses where “draw” is essentially a short form of “withdraw” or remove
