knock

Two tennis senses and one music sense. --Connel MacKenzie 00:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

The tennis verb sense is merely the same as the preceding sense. --EncycloPetey 00:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Dated verb senses?

How are senses 1 and 3 dated? People use those senses quite a lot these days. I don't see how they're dated. Sense 2 might be a bit dated because I haven't really heard it before (it's probably a subsense of 1), but 1 and 3 are still used actively in normal speech. Velociraptor888 16:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Can someone add this Irish meaning?

Sorry, I don't know how to edit this competently, what the codes mean and so on.

In Ireland, transitive verb "knock" can colloquially mean "demolish", especially for a building. Examples:

• "... the building I’d knock first", from The Irish Times
• "Plans to knock range of buildings in Portlaoise advancing", from LaoisToday
• "In 1961 their monastery in Adelaide House, Irishtown, which they had occupied since 1928, was knocked and replaced by a new primary school", from History of St Mary's, a school in County Tipperary
• Thanks. 80.111.70.223 08:25, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
