Talk:gosh freaking darnit

RFD discussion: June–August 2023
Nothing special about this phrase that merits its inclusion, as opposed to all the other permutations of these words and their friends. This, that and the other (talk) 04:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think it is lexically significant,  actually, as is its parent phrase,, which I would also like to create. I don't think this is part of a much wider family of expressions ... the "GFD" formula is pretty much invariable.... the middle word can be dropped, but we already have goshdarnit and goddamnit so there's nothing else that needs to be done there ....  likewise, I'd say it's not really sum of parts since Gosh by itself does not have the same meaning that it has here.
 * For expressions that really do have dozens of possible forms, like get one's panties in a bunch, i wish we could set up a master page instead of having all of the individual detached pages. But, as has come up before, the appendix is too well hidden, and MediaWiki doesnt really support master pages as I conceive of them (they'd be something harder  than hard redirects, more like hard links where the displaytitle would be whatever the user typed in, instead of a redirect to some other title).  Our inability to do this is one reason why I tend to favor keeping pages such as this ... there's no convenient alternative besides to delete, and I think deletions like this would make our dictionary less useful. — Soap — 14:30, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as SoP. I agree with the nominator. — Sgconlaw (talk) 15:20, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 02:52, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as a routine instance of an infix. "Freaking" (or its variations) can be inserted into any expression that way ― "over the freaking moon", "all the freaking way", "holy freaking cow", "over my freaking dead body", "stop the freaking presses", and so on ad infinitum. bd2412 T 20:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
