Talk:gong

British slang: medals are awards. However, not all awards are gongs. I'm pretty sure the British usage is specifically for medals with round (gong-shaped) disks - hence the name. Sources, anyone? Rklawton 02:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I've heard it used to mean any sort of award, not just a medal. UK press often refers to TV awards as gongs.--Dmol 08:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Certainly plausible as a metaphor. Cf. ring someone's bell. But, not every metaphorical use is part of the lexicon. DCDuring (talk) 13:00, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
