A friend was suprised to see "bolt" in the category "eat voraciously" in yesterdays NYT Games' Connections, so I did a little corpus study: Of 100 randomly selected occurences of "bolt" in COCA, 0 mean 'to eat' Of the 123 occurrences of "bolted down" in COCA, 4 mean 'to eat' and 1 'to drink'. So I'm not suprised he was suprised. #appliedlinguistics #corpuslinguistics #linguistics
