Talk:bash into

RFD discussion: January–February 2022
We don't usually add entries for verb+preposition combination that are semantically 100% predictable by the verb and the preposition. Would we really want ram into, crash into, collide into etc.? There's a reason why some reference grammars don't consider (transitive?) verb+preposition combinations to be phrasal verbs. The preposition is simply the first part of the prepositional argument, so the bracketing is also wrong. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 16:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete for the nominator's reason. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:41, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't want to give that user any more ammunition, but he is wrong. Other entries, some on the same theme, already exist and create a precedent, and most of those that I saw are confirmed by Lexico. So is this one, otherwise it wouldn't have been entered. So it is keep for me. DonnanZ (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * it doesn’t seem evident to me that bash into has any sense other than bash + into (like yoke together which I previously nominated and which has been deleted). — SGconlaw (talk) 18:06, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * At this point it feels like you're completely ignoring the CFI and instead are making a personal attack on Fytcha. Vininn126 (talk) 19:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not going to name any more RFD targets, even if this one is sacrificed, and that's that. DonnanZ (talk) 07:12, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is SOP. Vininn126 (talk) 19:34, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * On the SOP basis, entries like would be deletable. DonnanZ (talk) 20:43, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Arguably yes. Vininn126 (talk) 12:51, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom's analysis. go mad is at least intransitive --General Vicinity (talk) 08:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just SOP and covered at bash verb sense 2. Just as we don't have crash into. Facts707 (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 13:35, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as SOP. The idiom bash into shape (meaning to fix something, often crudely or haphazardly) does exist, but it is an idiom that only exists in that form. Theknightwho (talk) 13:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Deleting one's own RFD? Not an ethical practice, I feel. DonnanZ (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
