information
2. The meaning that a human assigns to data by means of the known conventions used in their representation.
Information
get a line on To obtain knowledge about; to receive news of. In this expression, line often means an anticipated tidbit of information:
If you want to get a line on how she feels, she gave me a letter to give you … Here it is. (P. G. Wodehouse, Luck of Botkins, 1935)
The phrase is occasionally used by policemen or journalists to indicate a hot tip or lead obtained clandestinely.
get wind of To acquire advance information about something hitherto unknown; to get a hint of something about to happen. This expression is derived from the olfactory ability of animals to detect the airborne scent of other animals. The phrase often refers to the attainment of foreknowledge which warrants special action.
They retreated again, when they got wind that troops were assembling. (Princess Alice, Memoirs, 1866)
low-down The inside scoop; the bare facts. This common American colloquialism implies that the unadorned facts lie at the bottom of a situation.
One of the minions will … give me the official low-down on Fisher. Possible police record, etc. (M. Mackintosh, King and Two Queens, 1973)
scuttlebutt Gossip, hearsay; a vague, unconfirmed rumor; also, water-cooler talk. This expression originated in the United States Navy, where the scuttlebutt ‘water pail, drinking fountain’ was the scene of much idle chitchat. The expression was carried over to civilian life, where it describes office rumors, many of which are created around the water-cooler.
And worry about a slump, according to business scuttlebutt, is making some unions concentrate on share-the-job plans. (S. Dawson, AP wire story, March, 1953)
stable push The inside scoop; information from reliable or important people. This expression originated and is still virtually confined to the horse-racing world, where it refers to hot tips from knowledgeable people concerning a horse’s prospects for victory.
straw vote An opinion poll; an unofficial vote taken to ascertain the relative strength of political candidates or the general trend of opinion on a given issue. In the 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, informal polls were taken by handing out a piece of straw to each of the voters who would break the straw to signify a “nay” vote, or leave it intact to signify approval.
Straw votes, which have recently been taken in the New York State campaign, indicate that Mr. Hearst will be badly beaten. {Daily Chronicle, October 24, 1906)
A somewhat cynical evaluation of the validity of a straw vote was once offered by O. Henry in Rolling Stones (1913):
A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.
white paper A government bulletin which establishes the official position on a specific topic. This term is derived from the white binding of such publications. The expression is commonly used in the United States and Great Britain for the vast number of government reports released to the public.
