This looks OK, at first blush; we should have this idiomatic entry at this base form, with the alternates redirecting to it, right? --Connel MacKenzie 18:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

"Of or pertaining to hooliganism. We'll have a hootin' tootin' gay ol' time!" What does a good time have to do with hooliganism? Other GBooks uses I can see include "a hootin'-tootin' barn dance" and "she's turned into a hootin', tootin' seaport, all disguised in wavin' flags an' banners". Neither sounds violent.

cited. I have added a separate definition for those nonviolent uses. Kiwima (talk) 03:47, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well, shouldn't we merge the (now) senses 1 and 2, which all seem to fit equally well under "rowdy; boisterous and noisy"? Equinox ◑ 16:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
That seems fine with me. I put a bunch of citations on the citations page which seem to fall in the murky zone between the two. Kiwima (talk) 21:48, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
