Talk:killing me softly

killing me softly
Is this actually used as an idiom, or it is just a line from a well-known song? At the very least, can it be moved to kill someone softly? I'm not saying it can, I'm just asking. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, should definitely be added as the lemma form (kill someone softly). A quick Google search reveals many idiomatic usages: "All of a sudden, he was killing me softly and I was on the floor dying laughing." / "Within three days of working with the devil's advocate who goes by name of an agent, I realized that he was killing me softly." / "Everyone said that she was killing me softly without me realizing it." / "Like the silence at a funeral. Nothing can be said. But nobody knows him so let the rain fall down. Because they killed him softly." etc. Tooironic 01:27, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Songs and poems are not good indications of actual usage. Even when used in everyday speech it is an allusion to a phrase whose meaning is not certain in its application. DCDuring TALK 00:56, 31 July 2010 (UTC)


 * This is just a song title. It should be deleted. BedfordLibrary 14:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
