- @דברי.הימים thank you for self-reverting. We all read things too hastily at times. But, yeah, this is a bad source. Simonm223 (talk) 13:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Barbarism ?
[edit]The form "a no-go area" doesn't seem correct to me. In good english, people should say : "a don't go area". Likewise, we should talk about a "don't go", not about a "no-go". Is "a no-go area" a linguistic barbarism ? 93.174.144.91 (talk) 09:32, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you very much ! But the term still puzzles me. Since "to go" is a verb, the right expression should be "don't go", not "no go". 93.174.144.106 (talk) 09:07, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- It a colloquialism. Slatersteven (talk) 09:42, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Or an idiomatic expression, as the article says "an idiomatic expression's meaning is different from the literal meanings of each word inside it." Sjö (talk) 10:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
