Talk:dare acqua alle funi

RFV discussion: June–August 2021
Four hits total on Google Books. One is unverifiable (no preview available). Two are duplicates and either involve an extended metaphor about a rope or a literal recounting of a story/event. Those might therefore not count. Which leaves just the last result as a possible attestation. Is there any other attestation? Imetsia (talk) 17:09, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * If not deleted, this should be moved to – compare  on the Italian Wikipedia. According to the article there, the phrase has fallen mostly into disuse, but when used is either an alarm cry ("immediate action is needed") or emphasizes the resoluteness of someone’s actions during a crisis. I don’t see convincing uses of the shorter phrase either, though; only mentions.  --Lambiam 22:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
