Talk:Grande Armée slang

Please note

The authors and contributors are fully aware that Wikipedia is not the Wiktionary. Hence the following article contains no pronunciation guides or etymologies. The alternatives to placing these terms in a single, convenient place would be to create a mass of confusing stub articles, which would violate the letter and sprit of the "rule" even more, or (worse still) not to include them at all. The latter course of action would violate the spirit of the Wikipedia itself; To Be Bold in collecting all knowledge and making it open, avalable and free. This being said, if you still have objections to this article or would like to see it merged or deleted, please take it up on this page first. Thanks--R.D.H.

Well in the name of consistency it really should be deleted or something. Most of the other slang pages, particularly military slang, have all been deleted(except the US ones). And in some cases those pages were far more encyclopedic than this one, precedent has been set so delete them all i say. 81.152.196.37 11:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC) Elmo

Concerning "Descendre la Garde (Drop One's Guard)" The french common expression for Drop one's gruard is "baisser sa garde", "descendre" cannot be used in that context in french nowdays, but i don't know about Napoleon's time. This requires confirmation or correction by someone with access to authentic documents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.195.254.76 (talk) 01:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
