Talk:Scotch

RFV
Rfv-sense: "A brand of transparent adhesive tape manufactured by 3M". Based on the synonyms proffered, what's meant is clearly "transparent adhesive tape, of a particular brand manufactured by 3M" (i.e., the tape, not the brand). So we'd need to cite Scotch (note, not Scotch tape) in use to mean tape. In fact, we'd need to cite it per WT:CFI. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 21:54, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe this is a separate issue, but our entry for isn't really sufficient, in that  often occurs in this sense outside of the exact collocation ., for example, gets dozens and dozens of hits. —Ruakh TALK 03:57, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding "Scotch and masking tape": compare "North and South Korea", "medical and legal experts". Those phrases are just eliding the part of the term that would otherwise be repeated; I'm not convinced our entry for Scotch tape is insufficient. Of course, this very RFV was/is to determine what Scotch means in true isolation. :) - -sche (discuss) 00:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't all that relevant, but the 1997 quotation amuses me because it specifies "brand". I added it and another quotation to Citations:Scotch. (To be clear, I do not think either satisfies this RFV.) - -sche (discuss) 00:18, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
