Talk:resentful

I'm concerned about the definition that is used for this word. Resentful applies to anger felt as result of someone having done something wrong to you. It's closely related to indignation and wrathful which also applies to anger felt as a result of a wrong or injustice. Irritable specifically applies to anger for little or no reason. Irritable would mean anger is totally unjustified but resentful is feeling anger for bad behavior similar to scolding but not necessarily expressing that with rebuke ---> http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?lextype=3&search=resentful 65.31.103.28 23:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense: Anon added elaborate wording to sense which seems to exclude much usage without adding other sense to include other usage. If another sense were added, it would almost certainly seem redundant. The issue is probably resolvable by finding citations for the more particularized sense. The original, less elaborate sense appears without challenge. DCDuring TALK 15:53, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a legitimate poker term used extensively on the West coast of North America. There are several such poker terms that arise from popular culture based on actual players and events.

If this is deleted I will not bother adding the others.


 * That's odd, as the meaning has nothing to do with poker, even by its own definition. Removed, not cited and I think it's just redundant, would seem to have merited immediate deletion anyway. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

? Has nothing to do with poker? IT IS the term used to describe a specific play of cards in the game of poker which came to be as a result of a particular person and a particular play. Why are you so difficult? The beauty of the English language is that it evolved, you must be French.
 * I think you want above. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Striking (failed), per Mglovesfun's comment above. —Ruakh TALK 23:21, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
