Talk:fun house

fun house
(colloquial, slang) An environment that (unintentionally) resembles a fun house.

This seems to be saying that fun house can be used metaphorically, though not specifically with any particular definition. This kind of definition would seem to potentially apply to virtually term that is attestably used metaphorically, but does not yield any value to a user seeking to understand a particular use.

 * Agree with DCDuring, delete. Also senses #1 and #2 appear to be the same despite the slightly different wording of the definition for funhouse. --Hekaheka (talk) 13:19, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and isn't it worrying that the only definition I knew was the last one... --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 13:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, it just says your adulthood is more fun than your childhod. --Hekaheka (talk) 14:49, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I also think sense 2, "A carnival or amusement park attraction through which customers ramble to see unexpected clowns, distortion mirrors, ramps, slides, stairs, rotating barrel slides, etc." is redundant to sense 1. In fact, as long as the brothel meaning can also be written funhouse, I'd prefer if this whole article was, but that's outside the scope of this RFD. Smurrayinchester (talk) 16:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be a bit bold, but you could make that sort of change without any discussion, I've done it before. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:24, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The solid spelling is more common than the open, which is more common than the hyphenated at COCA (119, 98, 41). At BNC (8, 8, 0). So solid looks good to me as main entry. DCDuring TALK 23:40, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
