Talk:make it big

make it big
NISoP: make it + big. There are many adjuncts attestably compatible with make it, such as "to the top", "big time", "as a [role]", "in [field of endeavor]", "at any level", "to the finals/White House/red carper/A list/400". DCDuring TALK 03:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * ...most of which I would not consider idiomatic. But that's like arguing that light bulb joke isn't idiomatic because there are light bulb sockets, light bulb glow, the light bulb business, etc. The use of big in this case is special. It eliminates several senses of make it as possibilities. DAVilla 05:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * But these are just adjuncts that don't change the fundamental sense of make it, which needs no adjunct for the sense. The adjuncts just provide information about the extent or scope of "making it". Some contributor even offered that make it and make it big are synonyms. DCDuring TALK 13:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
