Talk:drop Benjamins

How is this an adjective? SemperBlotto 19:29, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I based the format of this article off of packing heat. Either they are both adjectives, or both verbs. If you change this, change that as well. Purplebackpack89 00:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

drop Benjamins
SOP: drop (14 “spend money”) + Benjamin n. —Michael Z. 2010-06-03 19:11 z 
 * If it's a set phrase, a constituent of the language (i.e. you must use Benjamins after drop to express the idea, it's not possible to choose instead any word referring to banknotes), it should be kept. Lmaltier 20:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * But it's not. You can drop twenties, drop C-notes, etc. There's already a quotation at drop v. 14. —Michael Z. 2010-06-04 16:58 z 
 * Then, delete. Lmaltier 17:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car.
 * Not a set phrase. Both are ordinary colloquial/slang words in the applicable senses. Delete. DCDuring TALK 22:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Strong Keep: Dropping Benjamins has a different meaning then drop twenties. DC, what's with nominating pages I created for deletion? Purplebackpack89 (Notes Taken) (Locker) 02:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's talk about the nomination, not the nominator. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm the nominator, so there appears to be some confusion.


 * How is the dropping in “dropping Benjamins” different from dropping bills, twenties, fifties, dimes, c-notes, etc? I don't believe it is. Would the proponents be so kind as to supply three citations demonstrating the difference? —Michael Z. 2010-06-07 15:08 z 

Delete, wasn't able to find any good reason to object. In particular, this lacks the distinctive usage profile of "pack heat"; the set of users of this phrase would seem to be identical to the intersection of the sets of users of the pertinent senses of drop and Benjamin. -- Visviva 12:56, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
