Talk:FWIW

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Four senses? Whoa. Could be very tough to cite, since some of the expansions are approximately synonymous. Equinox 13:02, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


As far as I know this always means "for what it's worth". Has anyone encountered these other three claimed senses: "for whoever is wondering", "from what I've witnessed", "forgot where I was"? Please be careful as some of these could easily be used in similar contexts. Equinox 07:27, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

google books:"from what I've witnessed" "FWIW" turns up nothing, and even a raw web search turns up little, which does not suggest that it exists. The others sound even more unlikely. - -sche (discuss) 10:43, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can find many of them, but in the context of what are obviously meant as jokes, such as this. RFV-failed Kiwima (talk) 22:46, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
