Good Samaritan[]

I know that yes, this was my page creation, but I think considering other pages that have been moved there, maybe this should qualify. --LauraCC (talk) 17:08, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

Merged. Tom (talk) 17:15, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

Moved to biblical references, as that is the source of the term, as it is not a metaphor or other figure of speech. --Alan (talk) 12:47, March 19, 2019 (UTC)

Judas goat[]

Category

Would this be better categorized in the Slang category? It seems to be a term applied to an animal and not an animal species itself. -- 31dot 12:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I think it might belong in metaphor. -- LauraCC (talk) 21:16, August 19, 2015 (UTC)

Or into the "quotations and allusions" section of bible? Kennelly (talk) 16:10, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

The Judas reference is Biblical (as the bg note says), but to my knowledge the practice of doing so with a goat is not. -- LauraCC (talk) 17:23, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

~~Merged with Metaphor~~. Tom (talk) 10:35, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

Moved to biblical references, as that is the source of the term, as it is not a metaphor or other figure of speech. Though really, it's more of a "goat occupation" than anything else. --Alan (talk) 12:47, March 19, 2019 (UTC)

Cochrane's bitter and sardonic reference to himself as a "Judas goat" for his betrayal of the Companion was almost the exact line heard in episodes of television shows in which actor Glenn Corbett was either a regular or a guest star. In the 1968 segment of Land of the Giants entitled "Weird World" in which Corbett guested, series star Kurt Kasnar delivers the line. And in a 1963 episode of Route 66 (a series in which Corbett later became a regular performer) titled "Somehow It Gets To Be Tomorrow", his co-star Martin Milner compares himself to a "Judas sheep... the one who leads the others into the chute."

Coincidence? -- Alan 14:32, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Episode title template[]

Would a Biblical episode title template be a good idea? (sorted by books of the Bible) --LauraCC (talk) 22:21, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
