Noun?

- Oddly enough we have buys as
{{plural of|buy}}, suggesting we had the noun and it's since been deleted. Added noun. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:46, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
What does it buy us?
[edit]This entry doesn't seem to cover the idiom "what does it buy us?", meaning "what's the point?". 24.1.56.9 22:51, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Seems to be the same buy as in (deprecated template usage) buy time. The existing sense "To obtain by some sacrifice" might cover it...? Equinox ◑ 22:53, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
