Talk:blossomest

RFV
A single use as a nonce word in an interview doesn't seem like enough to base an entry. Every Google Books hit not related to Dennis Potter seems to be using the obsolete second person form of the verb "to blossom" (I blossom, he blossoms, thou blossomest), not the imagined superlative form. (blossomiest on the other hand gets quite a lot of hits, including some who choose to transcribe Potter's speech this way, though to be fair, it does sound like he says "blossomest").

 * To me it looks like he's making a poetic "superlative" form of the noun "blossom". Siuenti (talk) 15:24, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that, though the citations seem to provide sufficient evidence for inclusion, there is no reason to connect this to blossomy:. The evidence seems to suggest that blossom: should be considered a true adjective. DCDuring TALK 19:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I also agree that this seems to derive directly from "blossom" rather than "blossomy." I'd define its meaning as something like "most characteristic of a blossom." Astral (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Although it is possible that there is other evidence supporting blossom: as a true adjective, I think something like your definition is best. DCDuring TALK 20:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Passed. (Feel free to tweak the definition further, if necessary.) - -sche (discuss) 18:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
