I've updated the definition to cover all possible senses of smack. Leasnam (talk) 17:03, 14 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
What evidence is there that this was inherited from Middle English? DTLHS (talk) 17:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I think some of the cites should be extended to include more text: I can't tell what some of them mean without context. Equinox 04:06, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Note to whoever closes this: please consider my point above that a lot of the citations mean nothing without context. I think this is at risk of premature closure with bad or ambiguous citations. Equinox 21:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
To that end, I moved the 1965 quote to the citations page, because the meaning is obscure. The others look pretty clear to me. Kiwima (talk) 22:12, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
