Talk:hors delais

This was listed at RFC (two years ago): Supposed to be a noun, but the first definitions are as verbs. See previous. SemperBlotto 07:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have never seen it used in English, but surely it would be an adverb if it is English. —Stephen 19:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

It is now semi-clean, but it needs verification. Google Books turns up some English hits, so some sense probably meets CFI, but I doubt all of the senses we give are supported. (I will peruse what Google Books has and work on cleaning it up myself in a few hours or a few days &mdash; feel free to beat me to that &mdash; but for now I focus on RFC.) The "previous" entry referred to was non partant, by the way. — Beobach 21:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * This is a mention, and a secondary source, rather than a use; this is the same work. This italicises the word and glosses it. A Books search for ""hors delais"" turns up many more hits than those three, but I searched for ""hors delais" race" so as not to be inundated with French-language hits. — Beobach 23:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I also find this:
 * May 29 2003, Dan Gregory, in rec.bicycles.racing:
 * Finished 23rd at 15min+ - Petacchi and 40 others hors delais..that snow made it hard..
 * All of the other uses I have found are in quotation marks. Maybe it doesn't meet CFI. — Beobach 03:25, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
