Word: throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick Part of Speech: proverb Etymology: Possibly based on a technique of building wattle and daub walls by throwing daub (mud mixed with straw) at the wattle, throwing hard enough that some obtained a good key and remained in place, (compare slapdash, a pebbledash effect produced by throwing pebbles at a rendered wall). Sense 2 is probably influenced by throw dirt enough, and some will stick. 1. Try the same thing (or similar things) often enough, and, even if the general standard is poor, sometimes one will be successful. Example: 2005, Mike Busson (poster on UKScreen forum) Re: Voiceovers!, read at http://www.ukscreen.com/board/General/0/28899 on 02 Nov 06, In terms of places to send your URL or CD's, there's no easy answer. It really is a case of throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick. Example: 2005, "forwardone" (administrator posting on the HYIPForum), re: Alertpay phishing email, read at https://web.archive.org/web/20071208195751/http://www.thehyipforum.com/message15022-alertpay-phishing-email.html on 02 Nov 06, I also think that sometimes they send out phishing e-mails in the hope that it`ll hit people who do have an account with a particular organization. You know, throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick theory. 2. If enough (perhaps false or reckless) accusations are made against someone, their reputation will suffer, whether or not this is deserved Example: 2006, "money" (poster on eTalk Money), Some thoughts about compact surfing, read at http://www.etalkmoney.com/category/closed-scam-folder/page/2/ on 02 Nov 06, Word of advice NVUS time to distance yourself from LuukH as quickly as possible and dish some dirt, otherwise well the saying goes - throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick.

If you are unhappy with an article generated by Abstract Wikipedia, you will be able to: change the “abstract” content in Wikidata; change the algorithms that construct or render the article in Wikifunctions; or sever the connection between the article and Abstract Wikipedia, and edit the article the old-fashioned way in Wikipedia.

Word: Poisson distribution Part of Speech: noun Etymology: After French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson (1781-1840), who introduced the distribution in his 1837 work Recherches sur la probabilité des jugements en matière criminelle et en matière civile ("Research on the Probability of Judgements in Criminal and Civil Matters"), although prior work had been done by Abraham de Moivre. 1. Any of a class of discrete probability distributions that express the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed time interval, where the events occur independently and at a constant average rate; describable as a limit case of either binomial or negative binomial distributions. Example: For the modeling of many phenomena there is a need for enlarging the family of Poisson distributions. One possibility of doing this is the use of mixed Poisson distributions (outlined above). Example: It is worth noting, therefore, that unlike the binomial distribution in which we are interested in observing both 'success' and 'failure', the application of the Poisson distribution is concerned only with occurrences rather than non-occurrences.
