Translations

Do the Catalan and Spanish translations require the translations of to at the end, as the French has (ie, should they be "to give a blow of [the] foot to" rather than just "to give a blow of [the] foot")? This this the transitive verb that is being translated, so it needs link to the object that follows. -- Paul G 15:49, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

mmm, I wasn't quite sure, I guess they need it. Hiezi 18:47, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

kick

"A button (of a joypad, joystick or similar device) that causes a video game character to kick." Another of the silly "button named after a verb" entries. Will we ever find a plural cite? Equinox ◑ 17:14, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete. I weakly support "Play", "Rewind" etc., subject to capitalisation clarification, but this is too much. Mihia (talk) 23:32, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Possible missing adjective

It's hard to find, but I think "kick" can be a slang adjective, meaning "kick-ass" or cool. I once had a Three Investigators book (it contained two stories: Hot Wheels and Murder to Go) in which, IIRC, somebody exclaimed "that's a kick bolo tie!". I don't have the book any more and can't find its text online. Equinox ◑ 23:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Train cars meaning

There is a meaning I can't quite grok, possibly "to move a train car by bumping it from behind" or something similar. See [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]
