A there's a fine example of "use case" ... the item was listed as available, and the respondents went through the various steps to reach the end goal, which at this point in time is:

Question: How much ?

Answer: I have no fucking idea !

[Beanpole]

Not to mention that he’s now relying on Steve to negotiate a price for him with his mate.

LS spring> short sleeve steamer

Totally different use case

what's a use case?

sounds like a tech term.

Indeed

In software and systems engineering, the phrase use case is a polyseme with two senses: 1. A usage scenario for a piece of software; often used in the plural to suggest situations where a piece of software may be useful

Polysemy is more fun:

Early accounts treated polysemy in terms of sense enumeration: each sense of a polysemous expression is represented individually in the lexicon, such that polysemy and homonymy were treated on a par. This approach has been strongly criticized on both theoretical and empirical grounds. Since at least the 1990s, most researchers converge on the hypothesis that the senses of at least many polysemous expressions derive from a single meaning representation, though the status of this representation is a matter of vivid debate: Are the lexical representations of polysemous expressions informationally poor and underspecified with respect to their different senses? Or do they have to be informationally rich in order to store and be able to generate all these polysemous senses?

Alternatively, senses might be computed from a literal, primary meaning via semantic or pragmatic mechanisms such as coercion, modulation or ad hoc concept construction (including metaphorical and metonymic extension), mechanisms that apparently play a role also in explaining how polysemy arises and is implicated in lexical semantic change.

[Beanpole]

Excellent analysis Cranky. Steve leans toward the informationally poor end of the Polysemy Spectrum.

One day Cranked is going to just flip out and go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole for about 56 hours straight.

One day ?

I've written so many use cases over the years that my life is just another set of them

[ajohnsen]

When you're travelling, it's a good idea to use cases. Or bags.

[steve shearer]

I've got that Axxe yammie here if you want it Buddy.
