If you heard a gunshot & somebody yelping or screaming, you can safely assume that somebody’s been shot. If you see a bullet hole on somebody, you can likewise assume that they’ve been shot. Why bother stating the obvious? — (((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 00:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- They might be on a 911 call, or talking to a blind person, or discussing a shooter video game. Equinox ◑ 00:03, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- And they might be trying to feed an elephant a delicious mango. But our phrasebook entries don't need to cover any and all situations. Delete. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:29, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I've been shot, like I've been raped and I've been robbed. Don't create I'm trying to feed an elephant a delicious mango. Most conceivable phrases don't merit phrasebook entries, and some do. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 15:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep: for the phrasebook, I like to use something like a lemming heuristic. google books:"I've been shot" phrasebook finds Dari / Pashto Phrasebook for Military Personnel, 2013, and 日常英会話表現4000, 2003. I admit two items are not terribly many; by contrast, google books:"I've been robbed" phrasebook gives many relevant hits. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:03, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
