minus-squareresipsaloquitur@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-26日前 Ideate Ask (noun) Table (verb) Does “tabling” mean putting a subject on the table or taking it off?
minus-squareBluu@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·9日前“That’s a big ask” drives me crazy. I’ve been hearing it everywhere lately. When did ‘ask’ become a noun?
minus-squareresipsaloquitur@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·9日前A huge ask. The biggliest ask. Sir Mixalot dreams about this ask.
minus-squarebravesirrbn ☑️@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-28日前 The earliest known use of the noun ask is in the Old English period (pre-1150). https://www.oed.com/dictionary/ask_n1
minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9日前 When did ‘ask’ become a noun? The question is more ‘where’. Be sure to tease whomever about the car lot they obviously worked at.
minus-squareWindyRebel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·9日前Tabling means to save for later. You put it in the table to deal with it another time.
minus-squareWindyRebel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-28日前Think of it as you’re holding a bag of groceries. You are going to put things away from the bag, but maybe some things need to go somewhere else so you pull it out of the bag and put it on the table to put it away later. You’ve tabled it.
minus-squareresipsaloquitur@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9日前Is this different from putting it in the parking lot?

Tabling means to save for later. You put it in the table to deal with it another time.
So tabling it means it’s off the table?
