Help solve a adjective/noun disagreement

Supersetoy · #1 03-13-2007, 09:49 AM

Yesterday my friend created his own slang term, "Assatall" meaning "That girl has no assatall". Stupid, I know.

But he defined it as a noun. Half of us thought it was an adjective (claiming that the slang term badonkadonk was a adjective) and therefore assatall being the opposite of badonkadonk - both were therefore adjectives.

I pointed out the sentence, "I have a widescreen". And this is where the confusion comes in. "Widescreen" describes the TV/Monitor/etc. But in that sentence does "widescreen" become a noun? Or does it remain an adjective? Or is this sentence even grammatically correct (my word editor doesn't give me a green squiggly line)? After 2 hours of searching yesterday and today, I still cannot find anything online to prove my friends wrong.

I would think badonkadonk and assatall would both be nouns.

As you have used it, "assatall" is clearly a noun and I don't see how anyone can argue it is an adjective.

As, aren't "assatall" and "badonkadonk" synonyms and not opposites?

Uh he didn't create that, my black suitemate taught me it in 1999. And it's nassatall, not assatall. Assatall would be she DOES have an ass.

It's a noun - "that girl has got nassatall", not "that girl's ass is nassatall".

'assatall' would be a noun. it is the direct object of the sentence.

'widescreen' is a noun also. widescreen is a compound word and just a term for a type of tv. a 'tv' is a noun so anything that you could substitue 'tv' for in a sentence is also a noun.

if the sentence were changed and it said "i have a wide screen." 'wide' is an adjective modifying 'screen' which is a noun.

If it was an adjective, you could drop it from the sentence and still have a complete sentence. "That girl has no" is not a complete sentence.

badonkadonk is a noun, not an adjective

I checked urbandictionary and couldn't find whether or not it was a noun or an adjective.

Couldn't a person say, "She's got a badonkadonk butt"?

Wouldn't badonkadonk therefore be describing the butt? (I understand that "butt" can be dropped from this sentence too) But IMO I always thought that "badonkadonk" was a way to describe a big butt. More emphasis on "big".

That's the way he was originally using "assatall". "She's got an assatall booty"

The consensus seems to be that it's a noun. So I guess me and a few of my other friends are wrong.

saying she has a badonkadonk butt is redundant. no one says

Daaaaaaaaaamn look at that chicks badonkadonk butt.

it is just

daaaaaaaaaaaamn look at that chicks badonkadonk.

How can you have something and that something not be anything but a noun.

She has no delicious?

She has no blue?
She has no salty?
