Talk:cobra

RFV
Rfv-sense (Portuguese): cobra

I request evidence that this is used to refer specifically to the cobra, as opposed to any other snake. — Ungoliant (falai) 12:29, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't read Portuguese well enough to find actual uses for you, but sense 2 of this definition narrows it down to specifically the genus Naja. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That’s a start. That definition claims it is European usage, but the Priberam dictionary, which focuses on European Portuguese, does not mention that narrow sense. — Ungoliant (falai) 19:02, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * So if cobra just means "snake" to Brazilians, what do you call cobras? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 20:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Apparently, this is recent Internet slang (from 2018?) for a Canada goose. Equinox ◑ 22:24, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
