Talk:leave in

RFD discussion: March 2018–January 2019
Allow to remain (e.g. shampoo in hair, or a joke in a speech). Isn't a special verb construct like "take in (the scenery)" or "drop out (of school)", as far as I can tell. More an SoP like "leave there" ("I left the book there overnight"). Equinox ◑ 22:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems SoP to me. Similar to the first sense of take out, which seems to me also to be SoP, which I'm going to nominate here as well. The others seem properly idiomatic. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 22:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Regarding shampoo, it can be compared with the adjective . DonnanZ (talk) 23:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like just +  rather than anything idiomatic, but we don't seem to have a fitting definition for the adverb. Delete, because this is rather productive. ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:51, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Abstain for now. I think this entry (and others) would be more useful if it (they) gave some usage notes about the separability of the particle: can you say "I left the one about my mother-in-law in"? Is it natural? Which option is more common? It might be grammatical more than lexical though. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 10:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete, transparently SOP. bd2412 T 01:01, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
