comment What is the role and historical context for “come” in “Kingdom come”?
I actually just wanted to use it myself in the context of sued into kingdom come which is a rather common context in the south. It seems to be something you can be knocked or punched into.

oh Jesus Christ, the pronunciation for the adjective is below the fold, what kind of shitty dictionary.com format is that.

comment What does it mean to “Gild the Lily”
@FumbleFingers all merges within the first 10 minutes of creating a question are squished -- you can't see them, that doesn't mean I didn't re-edit the question and change the word.

Further, that same Question in the FAQ adds this, "It’s also OK to ask and answer your own question." -- That seems to special case this question which I answered prior to it being closed. Perhaps you should read the FAQ.

I'm going to have to side with Martha -- if you think "general reference" means the entire internet or everything in Google's cache you're delusional. Perhaps this would make a good question.

comment What does it mean to “Gild the Lily”
Yea, slight problem -- I thought the phrase was "Guild the Lily." I made a note to look it up, it was only after I posted it wrongly (as guild first) that I was able to find that I wrote or heard it down wrong. Anyway, there is no rule about not asking questions that can be found with Google. There is a rule about not asking duplicate questions already on stackexchange. Feel free to answer it.
