The ghost knife of Callisto himself
I miss The Expanse
Start up the drum
Spin the da drum… Iirc… And it was Ashford.
I’m a simple man, I see Camina, I upvote
Drummer and Ashford (tv)! Belter idols!!
The show did so many great changes! Tho the books are phenomenal too. I hope they’ll adapt the final trilogy some day as well.
Ageing all characters was digitally expensive. Plus CGi budget would go through the roof with all the alien shenanigans.
Beltalowda!
It will forever crack me up that Bezos saved this show.
The torment nexus strikes again. None of these guys can critically read fiction…
Saved because it was doing well and also killed when it was doing not as well as Amazon hoped.
Beltalowda kopeng mi 🤩
Oye. Tenye wa chesh gut!
Worth whatever the cost per kilogram is these days.
Considering oil prices affect virtually every sector…
I would still qualify “space” as a noun here, but that’s if you accept these kinds of constructions as sequences of nouns rather than the zero-conversion of nouns into and adjectives.
In Ukrainian those type of phrases would be converting the first noun into an adjective or into a prefix (either hyphenated or completely joined with the main noun)
In german, space billionaires would be a single, combined noun (Weltraummilliardäre) while space billionaires would be two separate words, a verb and a noun (Milliardäre verteilen) or, in the spirit of the meme, even more words (Milliardäre in den Weltraum aussetzen/dem Weltraum aussetzen).
In my head I read it translated as “Milliardäre spacen” ^^ Both of them. (:
There are few adjectives which are both homophones and homonyms for verbs.
I wonder if there are any such pairs not related to violence or sex…
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.Once you verb a noun, you can use it however you like. Rock could turn to violence if you did it to billionaires, but you can rock out, too. Tools are a good source. Shovel billionaires, hammer billionaires, blowtorch billionaires.
Wordplay is fun!
Verbing weirds language
Great quote!
off the top of my head “park”, “fly”, “table”.
I’ll accept fly, but park and table definitely aren’t adjectives
Table tennis?
Maybe you’re just insecure about not being as fly as I am.
Table salt
Not really adjectival, but forming a noun phrase. It’s not productive because you don’t call just anything you put on the table “table x”.
Same as “space billionaires” in the OP
Yes actually
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/table
See part 3 of 3.
So what is “table food”? If I ask what kind of salt you have, might you reply, “oh, it’s table”?
To look at it another way, can you give me an example of a noun that is not an adjective?
I’ll freely say that I disagree with Merriam Webster here…
Ok, you’re right and the dictionary’s wrong. Good job!
How else do you differentiate between a gym bench and a park bench?
Those are noun phrases formed of two nouns
Why don’t we table this discussion for a later date.
my bad, I was thinking verb/adjectives. I wrote the comment while waiting in line for food.
Cool, out,
whack, rap, pop, rock, punk (I got stuck on a theme), buffalo!
