Wow, an article with an adjective for a title that just might have the most appropriate title (although perhaps "phatic utterance" would be more in line with our standards). -- Jmabel 07:42, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. There is an associated noun for phatic, which is phasis. (Source: Chambers Dictionary & Thesaurus 2005.) Perhaps we should use that for the article title and redirect phatic to it. 86.150.131.83 16:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
