Talk:shoot on sight

shoot on sight
to shoot + on sight. NISoP. DCDuring TALK 03:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, No meaning of either shoot or on sight will cover the second definition. It's totally idiomatic.--Dmol 03:44, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's just a figurative use of "shoot". We're trying to lexicalize everyday poetry. "I wanted to shoot him" is an everyday kind of expression, at least where there is a right to bear arms. DCDuring TALK 10:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added the appropriate sense of on sight. &#x200b;—msh210℠ 16:17, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Figurative rather than idiomatic. Delete. 91.105.54.107 09:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There is still not any meaning of shoot that conveys the meaning of to dismiss or ignore.--Dmol 00:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But... are you saying it doesn't exist? I quite fancy trying to cite "shoot" in this sense, assuming it wouldn't be redundant to something else. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

No relevant citations. Delete. —Michael Z. 2010-06-03 19:34 z 

Did anyone mention this could be used literally? With the right definitions, seems SOP. I would weak delete but I want to see the proof at shoot per Dmol. DAVilla 11:06, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Deleted. I've added a sense to [[shoot]]. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 17:05, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
