Do you always revert IPs without checking whether they are right? Kambei is spelled correctly throughout the article, with the exception of the footnote that the IP corrected. Skyerise (talk) 20:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Driver

I know you likely reverted your Reference Desk question re: daily driver because you immediately stumbled upon the answer, but I'm just glad one of my two guesses as to the phrase's initial referents (either cars or golf clubs) turned out to be the case.

Your perception is noted. I thought of golf clubs but, well, daily? Oddly, vehicles did not occur to me. —Tamfang (talk) 07:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Daily driver"

Tamfang, the phrase originated in American car culture, where antique cars, hot rods and collectible cars are usually only driven on special occasions, in parades or to be exhibited at car shows, or to impress someone. The "daily driver", in contrast is not a special or unusual or collectible car, but rather a reliable, reasonably priced car driven to or from work and to the grocery store. By extension, the term is applied to other types of products like you mentioned. Cullen328 (talk) 06:37, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m in agreement with you that this is not notable. Do you want to send it to WP:AfD? Bearian (talk) 19:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
