[edit] Vfd
True or false: it is likely that this page will soon be on Vfd. 66.245.10.117 23:49, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- False. Other songs have articles devoted to them, and this is one of the better-known songs in cinema history. 23skidoo 06:31, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning
It's an adjective, really. I realize that as a song title you can think of it as a noun... Doops 10:01, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I'm curious, what does it mean as an adjective? I know that in the song, Mary Poppins uses it do describe how she feels etc, but the article also says that it has entered common English language usage as an adjective. In that common usage sense, outside of the song, what does it mean? --209.108.217.226 16:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
It's used to describe something postive far beyond the known ranges of excellence...probably -Alex 12.220.157.93 12:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
Please change the link name [1] to something else.
- A convention is to use the title of the linked page, so there is not much can be done. mikka (t) 23:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] About the facts
in reading about the history of the word, there seems to be some disagreement. If possible, we need to get he cite for the brothers claiming to have created it.
this site (http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msupercali.html) has disagreeing facts, and may want to be considered for revision of wikipedia's... or not.
[edit] Georgia Guy
Georgia Guy, I noticed you've removed my tag to delete this article. I'm not sure what your reasons for opposing the move are. At 00:24, on 1 May 2006, when removing the tag, you commented (Revert; how would a dictionary entry look like this??). If your asking me how a dictionary entry would look like this, then I'd have to reply, in all probability, and all honesty, it would be hard to see any other methodology than by virtue of having similar structure and content. What does that have to do with the wikipedia policy? --TheMadTim 00:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
In fact, Georgia Guy, it might look a little something like this : Wiktionary entry for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious --TheMadTim 01:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "In popular culture"
Many entries here are difficult to verify. For example, In the Australian TV series, "The Wedge", they was a casnio joke with the ladies and the mother said that her child was a "Supercalifragilisticexpialidouchebag". In my opinion, only notable examples, i.e., mentioned in some reviews, must be included here. I may easlily invent a Turkish example, "Hülya Koçyiğit in her award-winning Zehra movie mocked American culture by the phrase 'Süleyman-i-rakiageçityapabilmeoğuz'". Of course, sooner or later (I suspect rather later) the hoax will be revealed, but wikipedia:Verifiability is in some trouble here. Mukadderat 20:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronounciation
[ˌsu.pəˌkæ.lɪˌfɹæ.dʒəl.ɪs.tɪkˌɛk.spi.æ.lɪˈdəʊ.ʃəs])
Is it really pronounced Su-pe-kae-li-flae-d3el-is-tik-3k-spi-ae-li-deu-fes? At least that is how the above reads unless that is meant to mean something else. Its not clear. Simply south 01:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
