Talk:pipe

pipe
Rfd-redundant X 2:
 * 1) To decorate a cake using a pastry bag.
 * 2) To dab away moisture from.

I have tried to create a figurative sense that includes the "dab" sense. I am more confident that the "pastry bag" sense is included in "decorate with piping", which includes textiles and icing. DCDuring TALK 11:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Probably delete the cake-specific sense but give "decorate with piping" a few diverse examples/citations. Equinox ◑ 12:08, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Deleted second cake sense as redundant; Kept dabbing sense as not covered by other senses. --EncycloPetey 18:56, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Piped music
Muzak is sometimes described as "piped music" or "piped-in music", even though no pipes are involved. Does that mean we are missing a sense? Equinox ◑ 10:31, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Possible missing slang: telephone
In CBS Radio Mystery Theater (episode "Sheer Terror"), somebody says they will "get on the pipe", evidently meaning the telephone. Equinox ◑ 13:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
