Talk:green

Isn't green also the place where golf is played? Polyglot 20:18, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * I think the green is just those parts of the golf "course" with the flat grass, as opposed to the "rough" and maybe opposed to the "tee" as well. But maybe not opposed to the "fairway"... &mdash; Hippietrail 01:03, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Unknown derived terms - please find!
I've added several hundred extra derived terms. The following, some of which were already there and some of which are in word lists, I have not been able to find in print or online dictionaries. If anyone knows definitions, please add the terms to the derived terms list and create the entries.


 * back green
 * green ketchup - This seems to be unidiomatic, as it is just ketchup that is coloured green, rather than a variety of ketchup made with some green food.
 * green pip - OED says "see under 'pip'" but I haven't been able to find it there
 * green prawn
 * Green Wellies - as in "green-wellie brigade"?

Translation
Under, "having green as its color," Japanese should include 青 （あお） (Ao). This technically refers to blue, but is also used for traffic light green and plants.

Green = "money" in MLE?
I've heard that the slang "money" sense (which we gloss as US) is also prevalent in Multicultural London English. Equinox ◑ 11:27, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It would make sense - MLE uses American terms even when they don't really make sense in a British context (the police are the feds, even though British police aren't federal). However, crossover with "green"="cannabis" will make this hard to find through my normal method of citing MLE (searching the lyrics of grime songs).

 * P (or p?) is supposed to mean "money" in MLE too. I don't know why. "Pence" and "pounds" don't seem hugely likely. Equinox ◑ 20:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * pee/p has always been a UK abbreviation for pence. --WikiTiki89 20:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
