Billy Joel released She's Always A Woman in 1979. The lyrics contain the line "And the most she will do is throw shadows at you". Is this perhaps an earlier origin than Paris Is Burning (1990)? Smcnair ( talk) 20:24, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Fine if the phrase is used, but don't we need sourcing specifically describing usage in relation to the slang term? Just citing a page number in the book itself is not appropriate, right? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:25, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
The use of “shade” as a synonym for “bad” is a microaggression that results in macro-oppression. The constant devaluing of darkness pings upon the subconscious, impugning darkness as flawed even though the visual spectrum does not confer morality. #ChangeLanguageChangeMinds Gams&eggs ( talk) 22:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Move to Wictionary per not a dictionary.
From not a dictionary Wikipedia entry: “ Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide. Instead, the goal of this project is to create an encyclopedia. Our sibling project Wiktionary has the goal of creating a dictionary. It is the "lexical companion to Wikipedia", and the two often link to each other. Wiktionary welcomes all editors who wish to write a dictionary.
… whereas a dictionary entry is primarily about a word, an idiom, or a term and its meanings, usage and history.”<ref> /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary</>
