Talk:spoon

I dispute the third verb meaning given here. Spooning conotates "cuddling" and specifically does not conotate sex. Should this be tagged as "verification requested" or was this just someone's joke? --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Rfv-sense - I was inclined to delete this definition which contradicts the Pepys quotation, now to be found under spoom. All the definitions I have found give a stern wind, not a headwind. &mdash; Saltmarshαπάντηση 09:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Restored the Pepys quotation, since it is spelled spoon, not spoom, thus belongs there. But if it's under the wrong sense, by all means move it. This came from Webster 1913. Equinox ◑ 09:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Webster(1913)'s definition for spoon is "see spoom", but it does give the quote. &mdash; Saltmarshαπάντηση 14:51, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Restored; this is not how rfv works. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:59, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Striking as RFV failed: no quotations provided. The RFV was added in on the definition "To turn to port and starboard erratically for short periods of time, in the manner of a sailing boat heading nearly directly into a shifting wind". --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Definition
Currently given as: "An implement for eating or serving; a scooped utensil whose long handle is straight, in contrast to a ladle" (my italics).

This is odd, since ladles also have straight handles. -- Picapica (talk) 20:21, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
