Talk:wet
i'm new to wiktionary so don't want to modify the page itself, but a missing definition for "wet" is adj: Modified, especially an audio signal. For example the signal from the microphone is dry and the signal out of the distortion-box is wet. - o. elenzil 20060830
In the process of becoming wet/wetter
Is wettening a word? I've heard it used in the context of "becoming wetter", but have yet to find it in any dictionary.
If it isn't, what is the proper term for this tense? Coolgamer 19:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not a word. Probably a confusion by analogy with moisten. In good English, we say "getting wetter". —Stephen 08:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
RFD discussion: September–October 2018
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
"Slang, vulgar, chiefly of a penis: Lubricated with vaginal discharge or saliva as a result of sexual intercourse." Discussed recently somewhere. I am guessing this was added by PaM or the like, in his constant efforts to equate men to women, and Christianity to Islam, etc. However, while a woman can get wet (sexually), a man can't (he isn't "wet"; his penis is), so it's "having liquid on it" hence redundant to the normal sense. So I doubt it's actually slang or vulgar either. There might be a case for "get one's dick wet"(?) as a phrase for having sex, but not here. Equinox ◑ 21:20, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete for nominator's reason. — SGconlaw (talk) 21:44, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. The other sexual sense relating to women should be kept, but this one is straying too far into Urban Dictionary territory. Unlike UD, we do not need to mention every single sexual association that can be imagined for every word. Mihia (talk) 22:24, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- Added in this edit. Not one of the usual suspects. Delete anyway. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:47, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete, not because of sexual content but because it's included in sense one. Kaixinguo~enwiktionary (talk) 07:43, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
