hara-kiri[edit]

"A self-destructive act" (distinct from sense 2, "suicide or any suicidal action")? Equinox 11:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

it's just the first two sense used figuratively. I've heard it used like this, I'll slightly rework the definition but leave rfv-sense in tact. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Cited IMHO. It's as Mglovesfun says; the simplest definition would be “Used figuratively.” or maybe “(figuratively) Figurative suicide” (not that I'm actually suggesting we define it that way). —RuakhTALK 05:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
