Suggested change in origin of "dab" dance pose
Suggested change in origin : Origin may not be in hip hop as article suggests, the earliest claim in hip hop is it was invented in 2015. The "Dab" pose (not the word dab) is in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Developed in 2010, this predates all claims of its creation later. Released by Disney & SquareEnix in early 2012. The pose is called "Break Time". Sora holds the "Break Time" pose for several seconds making it unmistakable that this is the pose people associate with "dab".

 * Doesn't seem too likely, culturally, that a hip-hop phenomenon would come from a video game. Also, our entry is about the word "dab", not the pose itself. Equinox ◑ 00:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

dab from
In a sentence such as the following, is the sense of "removing" added by the proposition from on its own? She dabbed the tears from her eyes --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes. The vast majority of "verb + preposition" combinations are not fixed phrasal verbs. Equinox ◑ 15:30, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * A number of the entries for purported English phrasal verbs are probably not justifiable as phrasal verbs. Many of the definitions in entries for valid English phrasal verbs are not true phrasal verb definitions. In those cases, users would be better served by use of and inclusion of the non-phrasal-verb uses as usage examples thereunder. DCDuring (talk) 15:38, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
