Hi, all!!! Can someone help me with what this phrase means:
"unlit dime"
I came across it in this context:
Number of people: unlit dime
I have NEVER heard or seen this phrase before....
I �ve googled it, but can �t find a definition.
Thanks in advance! |

Hi Mar
Hope you �re having a nice day.
Is the phrase from here?
I think it is an anagram for "unlimited."
Does this help? I hope so.
Take care.

Here �s what I �ve found: DIME - a very attractive person; A PERFECT TEN. Frequently, attractiveness is rated on "a scale of 1 to 10." In the United States, a dime is worth 10 cents. Hence, a "dime" is one whose attractiveness rates 10 on the scale. Also dime piece. But honestly, I have no idea what that could mean. I need a more extended context to be able to deduce the meaning of that phrase.Could be an undefined number of people between 1 and 10? Yeah, I guess we should wait for the response from the native speakers Thanks, Julia for a great resource Sophia

hi Mar 
then it �s definitely an anagram of unlimited, as per the post by Julia.
Cheers, AB

Hi Mar
I think you saw this phrase �Number of people: unlit dime� in the document that I gave in an earlier post here (which I think is the same as posted by Julia and AB). Don�t worry - it�s a typo. It should say �unlimited�
Cheers
