is this article about the idiom or about abusing subordinates?

There's no clear topic to the article Bhny (talk) 23:37, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They are one and the same. The idiom refers to abusing persons (or animals) with less power than oneself. Softlavender (talk) 00:49, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean a use–mention distinction. Either the topic is "the idiom kick the cat" or the topic is "displaced aggression" Bhny (talk) 01:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a Wiktionary entry (it's a Wikipedia entry), if that answers your question; although at one point someone briefly tried to make a Wiktionary entry out of a stub article on the subject. Softlavender (talk) 02:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It half reads like a Wiktionary article on an idiom and half like an encyclopedia article on "displaced aggression". You seem to keep missing my point. Bhny (talk) 04:48, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
