So are we dropping it or not? It was just approved. |

OK, drop it. WWWJDIC's glossing function handles it OK. I've added it to my text-glossing file. |

For people (and esp. beginners) using tools like rikai-kun etc., I think it's convenient to be able to pick this up in one sweep and
immediately provide an idiomatic translation instead of forcing them to puzzle out what the constituent parts mean on their own, and
it's useful for reverse look-ups and possibly Japanese users looking for how to say 外で飼う in English (it probably won't take long
before a google search for 外で飼う 英語 brings up the weblio page including this definition as the first result). Also in general if it
really is an idiomatic expression (and in another source; even if it's eij), I think entries like these are basically harmless to
include - there are no obvious downsides and you never know in what ways it might be useful (machine translation?) |

Is it helpful to anyone, though? The meaning of the expression is obvious from its constituent parts. |

Very much A+B but I feel like this is a quite idiomatic set phrase. (not idiomatic as in "resembling an idiom" but as in "denoting
expressions that are natural to a native speaker") The hits don't necessarily support that stance but two native informants (30 and 60
years old) did agree. |
