    Sluts are no different than studs

    So, let's be clear what's happening here. You said that the lexico definition you posted was the 'full OED' definition. At one point you tried to deny it, but I was able to quote you verbatim. I informed you that the free lexico online site entry was different to the full OED entry, since...

    And here: "The theory favoured by the OED relates to the alternative definition of a bucket as a beam or yoke that can be used to hang or carry things on.[2][4] The "bucket" may refer to the beam on which slaughtered pigs are suspended. The animals may struggle on the bucket, hence the...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    And here: "The first published citation for the expression in the OED comes from Francis Grose’s A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785): “To kick the bucket, to die.” Unfortunately, there’s no way to tell which bucket is referred to here. The expression also appears in a collection...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    @ChristineM 2007 Etymology There are many theories as to where this idiom comes from, but the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) discusses the following: A person standing on a pail or bucket with their head in a slip noose would kick the bucket so as to commit suicide. The OED, however, says...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    Lol :) You sound desperate. Still not reading the full wiki entry, and selectively quoting it, I see. Monday. Monday. Monday. You must know that you are actually wrong. I can't believe you're doing this out of simple misguided ignorance. Which means you must know that the entry I provide on...

    No it isn't by their own admission. I see you're willing to play this out to the end, even when faced with evidence of your own deciet and incontrovertible evidence of your error. Very sad. No point bothering with such as you. I'll post Monday.

    @ChristineM Stop lying. You said about your definition post, and I quote: You said it was the 'full OED definition'. Let me ask you again, are you willing to hang your entire online reputation on that claim, even the face of the counter-evidence I've provided, while waiting for me to scan...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    Let's just be clear: You claimed your lexico entry was the full OED definition. I said it wasn't. You argued with me. I provided lots of evidence it was different. Now, Before waiting until I get to work Monday and access my library's edition of the full OED and scan it in, are you willing to...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    @ChristineM The wiki quoted the OED, the blog was from the OED, and I've also provided the OEDs own video guide to its entries and the lexico online dictionary's own wording on how it differs from the OED ... If you are just going to front this out regardless of evidence against you I might...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    Are you for real ... I've provided multiple proofs. Tell you what, I'll try and scan an entry when I'm back at work on Monday for you ... The wiki quoted the OED, the blog was from the OED, and I've also provided the OEDs own video guide to its entries and the lexico online dictionary's own...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    You've already admitted you got your definition from lexico and not from the full OED ...and I've provided mutliple proofs that they are different ... This is getting very silly ...

    Sluts are no different than studs

    So now, as well as wiki, lexico itself, and the OEUP, I've now added the OED guide to its own entry ... Lol :) I now feel you've lost all claim to integrity. You must realise I'm right on this ridiculous trivial issue ...
