It will forever crack me up that Bezos saved this show.
Saved because it was doing well and also killed when it was doing not as well as Amazon hoped.
The torment nexus strikes again. None of these guys can critically read fiction…

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

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”?

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
my bad, I was thinking verb/adjectives. I wrote the comment while waiting in line for food.
Why don’t we table this discussion for a later date.
Cool, out,
whack, rap, pop, rock, punk (I got stuck on a theme), buffalo!
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.
