make at

[englishhobby]

I came across a website that gives a few definitions of the phrasal verb "to make at":

It seemed really odd to me that I couldn't find the phrasal verb "to make at" in any other dictionary (Cambridge, Longman, Collins, Webster etc). Is it outdated?

The only one of the five examples in that link that bears any relation to anything I've ever heard/said is #3. The rest, to me, are nonsense. If I were you, I'd forget you ever saw it.

That's not a common phrasal verb I think.

I've never heard of it before. Also, those example sentences are not very convincing that it is used as a phrasal verb. For example, "It's something you can make at home" simply follows "make" with "at". (Where can you make it? At home.)

@englishhobby It probably goes without saying, based on our responses, that we strongly recommend that you never, ever use that website again!

My final gems from that site:

The letter "s" can be used to modify adjectives and adverbs, indicating a higher degree or intensity.
By adding "s" to the end of an adjective or adverb, we create the comparative form.
Additionally, adding "s" and "t" to the end of an adjective or adverb creates the superlative form. Example sentence: "This book is more interesting than the previous one."

I'm glad there won't be any more.

I might grudgingly accept #2. I have heard the question "What are you making at" meaning something like 'What are you suggesting' or 'what are you attempting to do..

However, I've never really considered it a phrasal verb, just an obscure set phrase. It's more commonly heard as "What are you getting at?"

Thanks a lot! I'll never use it.
