RFD discussion: February–March 2023
These two entries are just variations of toss someone a bone and throw someone a bone with "someone" replaced by another pronoun. Tc14Hd (talk) 22:45, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * For context, is defined as an alternative form of, which itself has been a hard redirect to  since its previous RFD in 2021. But  is itself an alternative form of .

 * Whoops, I didn't see the discussion on Talk:throw him a bone. Apparently, some people think that keeping redirects where "someone" is replaced by another pronoun is a good idea. I kinda disagree because I think that would justify the creation of another two dozen entries like "throw/toss him/her/them/you/me/us/hir/xem a bone" or "throw/toss a bone to him/her/them/you/me/us/hir/xem", but whatever. Let's just change toss them a bone into a redirect and hope that nobody actually creates the other pages. Otherwise I'll throw/toss/hurl/yeet/cast/launch him/her/them/hir/xem a bone/skeleton right into his/her/their/hir/xir face/visage (only figuratively/metaphorically of course).

 * I agree that we should redirect the entries in the manner suggested by . All three surviving terms could them be listed as alternative forms of each other, or two of the terms could be listed as alternative forms of the third and a list of synonyms could be added, including the said two terms, at our page for the third term. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How long do I have to wait before I can make these two edits? Tc14Hd (talk) 19:27, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Tc14Hd Since it did not involve deletion and we have consensus, I've gone ahead and done this. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 05:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
