Talk:Soon™

RFD discussion: September 2019
You could probably add "™" to many words to make them "sarcastic". DTLHS (talk) 18:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * One could. But is it done? --Lambiam 20:08, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think so, yes. I occasionally use it myself to indicate irony/sarcasm or at least mock impressiveness. However, I don't personally know whether Soon™ is enough of a special case to merit its own entry. ™ already has an "Internet slang" definition, but the definition seems a little weak to me. Perhaps that can be beefed up. Mihia (talk) 21:04, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It was nominated for WOTD a while back, but hasn't been featured yet. DonnanZ (talk) 08:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The irony of ironic use is that you can’t tell anymore when the use is not (meant to be) ironic. How smart can something be called “SMART™”? --Lambiam 09:33, 17 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as SoP to ™. I seem to recall "Real Soon Now™" being sarcastically used in the old video game Leisure Suit Larry to suggest something would not be done any time soon. Equinox ◑ 10:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

 * FYI, I have added a "Soon™" example to ™ and also beefed up the definition there. Mihia (talk) 17:49, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
