Sense 2. I've never heard of this, and there's nothing like it in the OED. -- WikiPedant 00:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

The figurative sense seems common. There may even need to be an adjective sense added. I think this would be better, if moved to WT:RFC. --Connel MacKenzie 18:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

RFV failed, sense removed. "Midas" is definitely used metaphorically, but our def said that "a Midas" is a kind of situation, and I see no evidence for such a claim. —Ruakh_TALK 21:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
