Rfv-sense: (transitive) To place a son or daughter for adoption. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 22:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Can't we just delete this sense? I'm not doubting that the expression has been used in this context, but surely no-one would ever think that it means "place for adoption" any more than "get rid of"  or "give away" would mean this without detailed context.

 * You are most likely right. I have come to dislike the delete-by-vote system and still more the delete-based-on-one-personal-opinion system (even when that opinion is mine). In due course it will probably be deleted. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 22:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have to agree because I've been caught out myself when my opinion has been shown to be simply wrong. I suppose the flag in the entry warns users that the meaning might not be genuine, and this system gives supporters a chance to prove their case.    D b f  i  r  s   22:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
