Talk:pet project

is the meaning of pet project; big project or small one?

It is pet adjective sense 1: "favourite; cherished". Equinox ◑ 20:01, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Agree, delete, common collocation but essentially no different from pet idea, pet scheme, pet theory etc. Mihia (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Shouldn't and  be deleted as well? PUC – 12:50, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not quite so sure that a pet peeve/hate is a "favourite; cherished" peeve/hate. Equinox ◑ 19:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * pet may need another sense, or need to expand that existing sense, to handle negative terms (independent of whether those are kept or deleted), because I can also find e.g. "Major Butler has a pet grievance and a pet aversion, which he forces on the reader in every chapter, and which becomes at last very wearisome." "His pet annoyance was the buying of radios on credit by those who could not afford them." - -sche (discuss) 19:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * If you do add it (which I think is a good idea), I will definitely take it as an argument to nominate pet peeve and pet hate for deletion (though WT:JIFFY might apply to one of them?). PUC – 21:08, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
