"Said to ignore what someone is saying and change the subject." There was a definitely incorrect citation claiming to be from a 1960s Star Trek episode, and using the slang "awesome" which wasn't even in use then (plus I've seen lots of Trek), so I've removed that.

KnowYourMeme has I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 19:15, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm not really convinced that this is dictionary material at all. It does not seem strongly idiomatic to me. Do we aim to cover every phrase ever used? Mihia (talk) 01:56, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
I agree, although that should more properly be covered in RFD, not RFV. Kiwima (talk) 03:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Three of those (Hoover, Dorfman, and Siegel) seem to be non-self-published, so I guess I'll strike this as passed.​—msh210℠ (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Reply


The definition still needs work. It does not adequately explain how you decide which noun to put after "sound of". Equinox ◑ 16:34, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

SOP.​—msh210℠ (talk) 21:29, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Are you implying that "stupidity" and other such things have literal sounds? Because that seems to me to be the only way it could be SOP. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 03:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Why does everyone always think SOP means "literal"? --WikiTiki89 12:21, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Should there be a figurative sense at sound instead? Andrew Sheedy (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Keep. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 11:34, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Delete. Not really even idiomatic. You can use any similar sentence. --WikiTiki89 12:21, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
The current definition is very inadequate, not indicating that the phrase is incomplete as it stands, nor what needs to be added to finish it. Equinox ◑ 12:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Keep in some form: does not seem SOP per Andrew Sheedy. It does seem to be a unit of language, a repetitively used manner of expression, peculiar to a particular language. Equinox is right that the phrase is incomplete; we could add " X" to the end, but I am not sure that would be an improvement. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:13, 19 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
