RFV sense "posh, prestigious" (i.e. positive connotation, not disparaging). Also, if this sense exists, is it particular to the spelling la-de-da, or does it apply equally to all of the many spelling variants ("lah-di-dah", "la-di-da", "lah-de-dah" etc.)? Mihia (talk) 23:26, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Is la-de-da the predominant form? Tharthan (talk) 03:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- According to Ngrams, the predominant spelling seems to be "la-di-da". Per e.g. this, I am/was not 100% clear whether there are any valid usage differences between the different spellings, but my feeling now is that they are probably all exactly the same thing, and that the differences in our definitions (some of which I have now merged, but not this one due to outstanding issues) are just the result of random editing. For further issue related to the merging of these senses, see also here. Mihia (talk) 23:58, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
