Talk:dirty

What about "dirty hands"?
The entry should also explain the meaning of dirty hands and the idiom "get someone's hands dirty". Or does that have to be in a separate entry? 213.163.65.33 18:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

We have two computing senses apparently angling at the same thing. The first one (which looks good) is "Containing data which need to be written back to a larger memory"; the other, which I am RFVing here, is "Containing data which need to be overwritten." Equinox ◑ 08:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

It can perhaps be improved, but it definitely can't be combined into the sense you describe. —Ruakh TALK 17:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

"Of food, indulgent in an unhealthy way. The waiter served dirty burgers to the customers." This is not how I would interpret the example: I would think that burgers were unhygienic, or that they were some sort of branded or trademarked "Dirty Burger" as described here.
