 * I hate to use that dirty word, but it's quite a set phrase. You can be raring to any verb, but I'd bet this is massively more common than anything else. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep At COCA 55 of the 78 occurrences of "raring to" were with "go". No other verb had more than 2 occurrences. Cambridge Dictonary of American Idioms includes it. DCDuring TALK 16:33, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * That would be OK as long as there was a usage example containing the collocation/idiom (not deletable without reopening this RfD, if that were practical). DCDuring TALK 20:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a usex "raring to go" s.v. raring, and it's unlikely to be removed, as it's 9as noted) the most common phrase with raring. &#x200b;—msh210℠ 15:27, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Common phrase, but does not seem idiomatic at all. Nevermind, maybe you're right. -- 124.171.169.189 06:43, 14 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to raring (simply means "eager"). If the user even gets that far before "raring" pops up in the search box and he just goes right to raring. Facts707 12:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
