Right, I quote CFI: "For example, bank has several senses and parking lot has an idiomatic sense of "large traffic jam". However bank parking lot can't possibly mean "to put a large traffic jam in a financial institution". With such clearly wrong interpretations weeded out, the remaining choices are "place to park cars for any of several kinds of business" or "place to park cars by, for or on a river bank or similar (as opposed to, say, the hill parking lot)." The whole phrase could plausibly mean either, depending on context (though the first is likely far more common), and so the phrase is not idiomatic." - -sche(discuss)18:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
It's outside of CFI for attestation, but not for idiomaticity. That almost matches the lemming test except that, as written, it applies only to specialized dictionaries for some reason. DAVilla02:58, 8 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
This gets about 400.000 Google hits, but "slight chance" gets over a million. Idiomatic and "often used" are not the same thing. Delete. To Μετάknowledge I wish to say that one stupidity should not be used to justify another. --Hekaheka (talk) 13:18, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
