Rfv-sense "(Ireland, archaic) decent" As an Irish person I have never, to the best of my knowledge, heard this term used with this sense. As a kid probably though, and certainly as a (pre-)teen I heard it often with the new sense I have added, meaning pretty much equivalent to the colloquial meaning of awesome. Is this archaic sense real? User: PalkiaX50 talk to meh 22:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- It was posted by WF just before that account was blocked, so it's best not to take it at face value.
- At any rate, it's not hard at all to find usage in Google Books, but it looks like most or all of it is eye dialect for decent by non-Irish. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- RFV failed: no attesting quotations provided for the sense. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:19, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
