Talk:That's What She Said

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no way this phrase was popularized by "The Office". I'm changing it to a more general description.

This began with Wayne's World. "Are you done yet? I'm getting tired of holding this." "That's what she said!"

[edit] Examples

I think we have too many exmaples. Please suggest the ones (up tp three) that should be removed, and people can basically vote on which ones are not very good and do not belong in the article. Randomfrenchie 03:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Examples

I agree with Randomfrenchie, it looks very unencyclopedic.

[edit] Redirect

I tried to just prune this article back to a stub, but I couldn't find any sources even to provide a definition. I figured a redirect to Double Entendre was probably for the best. Chunky Rice (talk • contribs) 22:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

Maybe, but let's discuss. This article has been around for a few months. I cleaned it up. There was way too many examples and possible untrue stuff. It' a specific and widely used phrase that deserves its own article. Not many people have heard of the classification "Double Entendre". Randomfrenchie 14:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

There's not one thing in that article that's not original research. I agree that it's a common phrase, but unless we can source it, it doesn't belong here. If you like, we could take it to AFD for a more general discussion. And I don't know what you mean by your last comment. Double Entendre is a common term, even more so than this one.

Hello? I'm happy to discuss, but unless you have some reason why to keep this page, I'm switching back to a redirect.Chunky Rice 23:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

As I said, I'm happy to discuss this issue. As I see it, there's nothing in this article worth saving. I couldn't even find a reference for the mere definition. If you have references, please add them. Otherwise, I don't see why this article shouldn't be redirected or deleted. Chunky Rice 20:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I will try to find references. If not, then it should indeed be redirected to Double Entendre, but a short section specific to "That's what she said" should be added to the article. That is my opinion. Randomfrenchie 14:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Target of redirect

I think redirecting to Double entendre is an issue because of "principle of least astonishment" (this specific case is referenced here). Might it be better to redirect to the modern usage section on the page? -- Amazins490 (talk) 05:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
