As I mentioned at Talk:lion's share some time ago, we're missing a figurative sense at leonine, but I believe this is SOP: compare leonine deal, leonine contract. PUC – 14:10, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as this is not currently SoP because it is not adequately explained by leonine. You should have added your new sense there first. Equinox ◑ 22:55, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- It seems to be literary rather than figurative, and not very common in any case. Keep, I think. DonnanZ (talk) 09:32, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- If actually cited, I suppose it could be included as (jocular) Alternative form of lion's share. Ƿidsiþ 08:07, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Assuming this actually exists, which it seems it does, and that it actually is a variant (perhaps humorous??) of "lion's share", rather than a separate or independent coinage, which may be harder to establish, I would be inclined to keep, even if the relevant sense of leonine is added. I think it can "inherit" enough idiomaticity. Mihia (talk) 20:43, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
