Talk:cry wolf

cry wolf
The part of the definition that says: "and therefore ..." seems superflous.

People are warned not to 'cry wolf', so there is no requirement that they should have to suffer any consequence to have been said to have cried wolf. House 20:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It could use a better definition. Something not so literal, revealing limited thought as to the actual use of the phrase. -- Thisis0 20:57, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * How about "to raise a false alarm"? MattZUSmith 15:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
