Talk:Little red dot

Discussion by Fauzi, 2008
Should it be noted that while the Little Red Dot is a known epithet among Singaporeans, in reality, not all maps (with a sized projection such that Singapore would be hardly visible) represents Singapore with a red dot? I have seen Singapore represented with dots (or circles, squares, etc) of other colours, depending on the legend of the map. Most of the time Singapore is represented with a uniform symbol representing either City or Capital. I am not asking that this article be made irrelevant. Just to put a note in case some people might really think that in all maps Singapore is always represented by a little red dot.--Fauzi (talk) 04:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think the point is obvious and doesn't need to be mentioned in the article. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 22:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Little Red Dot
[Relocated from "User talk:Jacklee".] Hi Jack, I had a concern with the definition of epithet in present-day use - "In contemporary use, epithet often refers to an abusive, defamatory, or derogatory phrase, such as a racial epithet.", which cited Webster. The nickname is no longer interpreted as such, so "it is an epithet" in the first line may not be appropriate, esp since Habibie has denied that he meant it to be disparaging. Thanks for creating it btw. Wrigleygum (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I had a look at the OED Online, and while the primary meaning of epithet is merely "[a]n adjective indicating some quality or attribute which the speaker or writer regards as characteristic of the person or thing described", there is a draft addition which states that the word also means "[a]n offensive or derogatory expression used of a person; an abusive term; a profanity". I haven't come across this use of the word before, but since it exists I have no objection if you want to avoid the term. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 14:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Merge with article Singapore
I am not entirely sure how to suggest a merge with the suggested merge template at the top of the article and such. I am looking for debate from the community as I am not sure if I think the article should be merged either. Thanks Nemoanon (talk) 20:52, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
