Send her victorious

[edit]

What is the meaning of "to send" in the context of the British National Anthem? "Send her victorious" does not really work with the definition given here. --109.68.196.39 16:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Verb sense 3 - ‘bring to a certain condition’. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 21:26, 31 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

This image is sending me

[edit]

...or "this tweet is sending me", etc, is slang used online these days. Is it a reveal of the slang sense we mark as "dated", or something else? - -sche (discuss) 21:17, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Slang, rare: "To launch oneself off an edge." If the intended sense is something like "he sent himself over the cliff" then it's not slang or rare, and already covered by #1 to move from one place to another. Equinox 00:12, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've heard phrases like s/he really sent it apparently meaning that someone did something very impressive(?), e.g. [1], [2]. I doubt that's what this definition was trying to cover, though (if it was, it needs to be completely rewritten), and I don't know how to cite it. - -sche (discuss) 03:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
