[edit]The following indented material is a quotation from some dictionary source, included without introduction by User:Hakluyt bean. Jerzy•t 06:50, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Gaff
- n.
- Common slang used in Dublin, Ireland for house or place of dwelling.
It's used all over 'the Isles', most usually you hear it with a cockney accent, I've changed the entry accordingly. Hakluyt bean 16:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Dict-defs for development
[edit]Hooks
[edit]I've moved, and revised by adding edit-hist info & reformatting, the following to this talk page, from the article's comment where i initially placed it:
- The following dict-def item (contributed primarily by User:Ryaskgoldengryph at 21:56, 17 July 2007) could become a Dab entry
IF and WHEN
there is a corresponding article that *mentions* gaffs, AND includes encyclopedic information on gaffs (in this sense of "gaff"):- * Gaff, metal spike worn on the inner sides of each foot of a lineman (occupation) or other climber of poles or trees
- Note: There is mention of gaffs used in this sense in the Utility poles#Access article
Someone who presumably chose to disregard that restored a version of that entry; i've left it in place, modified in compliance with the red-and-blue-link format, which serves to inform savvy users (and hints it to others) that there is no encyclopedic treatment of climbing gaffs at the blue-linked article.
