Talk:mud

I have changed the definition 1 to be " a mixture of water and soil" rather than "a mixture of water and dirt" as in British English, dirt doesn't tend to mean earth/soil. From what I can find on other pages, soil doesn't have such a split in this case. Would be interested to hear other viewpoints though. Potkettle 14:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Etymology

For the P.G. root to have been borrowed from Uralic is very unlikely, since the tendency is toward unvoiced consonants in the Uralic dialects; it is more likely to be the other way round. Unfortunately, it also has to be stated that there are no common semantics between mud and κάρφος (karphos); so there is no basis for any connection with mote, although am pleased with the reference on the main page.

English ethnic term

Definition: "A black person."

Example: "That includes muds, spics, kikes and niggers."

Nigger means black person, thus if the def were correct, the example would give something like "That includes blacks, ..., and blacks.". Is the def really correct or does mud mean something else? -13:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Should drag into the mud be added? --Backinstadiums (talk) 14:35, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
