Talk:big picture

RFV discussion: April 2015–January 2016
Rfv-sense: (slang) The movies or movie theaters.

I'm not familiar with this sense. It is not in OneLook. If it is real we need citations. DCDuring TALK 16:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If it is, it's got to be dated for sure, like short for / or to that effect Leasnam (talk) 20:24, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * A quick look on Google books yields 8 books with Big Picture in the title that are about movies. I have also found a number of quotes, which I will put on the citations page. Kiwima (talk) 20:45, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * As I see it, the cites are 0/4 as citations of the sense:
 * 2010 (title) Uses the idiomatic sense that we have as "totality"
 * 2010 Drew "big" + "picture palace", picture palace being a kind of promotional name for a motion picture theater.
 * 2008 Workshop "big" + "picture"
 * 2003 Kern "big"+ "picture"
 * I think we would be looking for something like the baseball sense of the big show ("major leagues"). DCDuring TALK 00:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I have created big show. bd2412 T 15:48, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Not capitalized? Renard Migrant (talk) 17:17, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * RFV failed: As DCDuring says, none of the four citations appear to support this sense. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 18:28, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
