This was **Reza** ’s original question:

> [@What is wit Brain?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-wit-brain/688623/1):
>
> I need the definition, alternative spelling and one or two sentence example of Wit-brain.

This was clarified here:

> [@What is wit Brain?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-wit-brain/688623/30):
>
> The words were asked to be defined and explained in two lines for each word with some examples, and also their translation into Farsi. (including typing, took me almost two hours to finish and email them).

The general rule we have here is that you can ask for help in understanding a homework problem (or a work problem), but we won’t do the work for you. **Reza** clearly crossed the line though by asking for the complete answer to the question being asked, except for the translation into Farsi. This would not be acceptable even if it weren’t work for hire.

**Colibri** was correct in closing the thread.
