You heard the new Rizzle Kicks song? — Mate, that is a tune!
I query whether "tune" specifically means a very good song. Yes, the usage example implies that, but you can use the pattern "that is a ~!" to convey appreciation of anything. The meaning doesn't seem to be inherent in the word "tune" itself. Mihia (talk)
I am familiar with this; see choon. You would exclaim "choon!" to sound your approval of some sort of club anthem, if you were a horrible chav. It does just mean "tune"/"piece of music" but it's used in that certain way. Nobody would shout "song!" or "track!". Equinox◑18:34, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, on this basis, I propose to change the definition to something like:
(UK,slang)Used as an exclamation to show appreciation or approval of a song.
You heard the new Rizzle Kicks song? — Tune!
I'll leave it just a little while in case someone shows that the word can be used in this sense other than as an exclamation. Mihia (talk) 20:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
A noun defined as "used as an exclamation..." seems like it wants to be an interjection perhaps. On the other hand see Talk:shoop, where shouting "X!" just means "this is an X!". I think we could get into circles here. Equinox◑20:14, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
As there have been no further comments, I have implemented my suggestion above. However, if people feel that it is just an instance of a general usage of shouting "X!" to show appreciation of X, claim an X, etc., then the sense can be nominated for deletion. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, this RFV is Resolved. Mihia (talk) 10:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
