Deleted several times before, now formatted. Is this in general use? --Connel MacKenzie T C 01:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes. 170 google book hits for the plural, and I remember hearing it in an Alanis Morrisette song as well (“Head Over Feet”). Adding the cites is left as an exercise for anyone who cares :p —Muke Tever 23:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Obviously no one cares. Until it is cited rfvfailed. Andrew massyn 09:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why is a plural listed? Is that use attested? --Connel MacKenzie 17:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

not rare

[edit]

Why is this listed as "rare"? I hear this phrase used frequently in everyday use and in entertainment/media. Demonic Duck 18:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Could someone familiar with the term match quotes to senses, if indeed two distinct senses are warranted, remove one or both rare tags? DCDuring TALK 22:14, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's definitely one sense. I've heard it before in casual conversation, though not in writing. Also, there's friendship with benefits. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I didn't doubt that there was a good entry just a few edits away, just not mine. DCDuring TALK 23:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
