Why don't you add "A baker's dussin"? I think it's quite common and it of course means 13 instead of the normal dussin(=12) — This comment was unsigned.

Is "start from scratch" an English idiom? Should it be added? I got here because I was looking for a synonym. — This unsigned comment was added by 137.82.49.176 (talk) at 00:03, 25 September 2008.

Yes, I would say it is, as I would not utter it, had I not met and learnt it before. It can be added by adding the due cathegory at the entry itself. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 08:57, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Not sure how to add a new entry -- this is different from Wikipedia. Want to add "Nuke it" as a term, as in "My coffee is cold, I'm going to nuke it." Means: To heat something in a microwave oven. GeeBee60 (talk) 17:12, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
