Talk:bad money drives out good

RFD

 * bad "failing to reach an acceptable standard" (MWOnline); drive out "To force someone or something to leave some place:" (AHD) "force to go away; used both with concrete and metaphoric meanings" (WordNet 3.0)
 * If the second sense is attestable and its use is more than a naive misunderstanding of the original meaning, this would have to be kept.
 * Our first definition seems wrong as the expression is normally thought to be a simplification of Gresham's law. I suppose it is possible that this doesn't make sense nowadays, except to a businessman or an economist and this needs to be explained.
 * That would make it a keep by virtue of evidence of actual misunderstanding or its potential for misunderstanding. DCDuring TALK 14:48, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't know what it meant until I just read it now. Sounds like a keeper. Renard Migrant (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep since it appears untransparent on the face of it, and since idioms.thefreedictionary.com has it. Furthermore, if the sense "Overvalued mediocre talent replaces undervalued real talent" really exists, it is an utter keeper. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:32, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Because "money" in this sense can me something other than "cash" Pur ple back pack 89  12:52, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
