- The definition is wrong then, since it is the action, not the "term". If you give someone a "click of approval" as used in the sources, you literally make a clicking sound to show approval. bd2412 T 00:06, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

strange usage
[edit]This example of "emit[ting] a click" doesn't seem straightforward, so I've removed it.
- He bent his fingers back until the joints clicked.
Do joints click in, say, British English, and not pop or crack? Also, wouldn't this specific example be easily confused with snapping?
At least for American English, I'm sure we can do better. DAVilla 08:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
Sense "pawl"
[edit]This sense appears under both Etymology 1 and Etymology 3. Which does it belong to? — Paul G (talk) 06:46, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
