 * Good quotes. The definition needs work though. None of the quotes show any indication of having been "thrown away", and "lost" is a stretch for most of them too. What on earth does it mean? This, that and the other (talk) 03:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Not true. In the 1887 quote, the half sheet had been previously thrown away. The others are various senses of lost: not perceptible to the senses, squandered or beyond hope, unable to be found. Kiwima (talk) 09:54, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Johnson did define it as exactly "lost; thrown away" so it's understandable that these writers would have been informed by that definition. This, that and the other (talk) 10:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
