Talk:Blinders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Estuary English
I rm To call something a blinder is estuary English for something 'very good'.\
- Tell me how this is relevant to the thing -- not to the word. On WP we tend to put different things on different pages even if the same word refers to them. In this case, I'm suspicious because the word when applied to this thing (to blinders as used on horses) is plural -- plural in the same way that "pants" is plural.
- Is this not merely slang? WP is not a dictionary, even a slang dictionary.
The idiom "blinders" is common throughout the English-speaking world; I've never heard of a single blinder in any context. You're welcome to respond to my comment. John Reid 12:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
