Talk:waterfall

I highly doubt the supposed german translation "Elchurin". As a native speaker i have never heard of it and some googling seems to give more hints to it being a swedish chewing tobacco product or something, even though there are also some sites talking about it being german for "source" / Quelle...

Second sense (tagged, not listed.) While it may have this meaning in other languages, it doesn't in English; one must say "a waterfall of ..." to convey a meaning other than for water. --Connel MacKenzie 08:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Also the verb sense could stand some citations. All I could find on b.g.c were cites related to mining engineering. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, definition #1 certainly doesn't cover uses of "a waterfall of ___". Perhaps some reworking is in order, though? —Ruakh TALK 02:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The person that tagged it originally, probably hoped for a rewrite. I agree with the sentiment.  A waterfall doesn't have to be permanent either (even though most are constant.)  Any liquid (not just water) can make a waterfall in English.  "The bottle tipped over, sending a waterfall of soda off the counter."  The verb seems to be clearly in widespread use, with immediately available cites going back almost a century.  --Connel MacKenzie 08:19, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Missing sense
Some sort of skirt, it would seem, presumably dated. I can't quite figure out what it is, though. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 15:16, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
