Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

context matters

lock in an answer?
lock someone in a room?
lock in on something?

[ornate sluice]

like if youre losing a game and you tell your friend "we gotta lock in"

@vocal pasture

mb

[vocal pasture]

heh, I have no idea what that means, can you word it differently?

[lapis gust]

Mhhh, generally, we use the anglicism "Focus" instead.

Example: Go se focus les gars.
(Focus guys)

But if you ever want pure French, you would say:
"Allez, on se concentre !"

[vocal pasture]

not a French person understanding something in English better than me…

I think "to lock in" got this sense only fairly recently, making the rounds in memes and internet language

I could be wrong tho, but it's definitely an observation i've made

Ah en faite:
