Suspiciously like the AHD sense. I can't think of a nicer way to define this though. —Internoob 00:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- Isn't this onomatopoeic? That might be one piece of information to include by way of differentiating from the AHD entry. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 05:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, that might work. I also found another one: solipsism, also a WOTD nom. —Internoob 00:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Probably Yahoo just changed one word in the OED definition "Esp. of an infant: to cry feebly, to whimper; to make a whining noise.". The OED claim the obvious onomatopoeia, via Middle French "miauleur" and "miaul" --> "meawl". Dbfirs 14:13, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
