Talk:leave someone holding the bag

Proposed move
Shouldn't this be titled "leave one holding the bag"? Don't we normally use the pronoun one in phrases like this? TeragR/talk 19:40, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * No, we use someone, I tried to move all of these at one time and either I missed some or more have been created. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Understood. Thanks. TeragR/talk 00:16, 26 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I think it's "someone" if you do the thing to someone else rather than yourself (?); otherwise it's "one". Equinox ◑ 21:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
