What words are fine when used as nouns but kind of (or absolutely) dirty when used as verbs?

Asked by iamthemob (17196points) November 2nd, 2010

Or vice versa – or insert various usages (adjectives but not nouns, etc.).

For me, it’s “score.”

noun: “What’s the score?”
verb: “I scored.”

@SundayKittens – that also seems dependent on the object of the sentence. Consider the following two. ;-):

(1) the door.
(2) that chick.

@ucme

shag – as an adjective.
shag – as a verb. ;-)

@erichw1504 – “finger” is a sublime example.

Interesting to see how many Jellies don’t know what nouns and verbs are.

@iamthemob and why is cleaning in your list? Seriously, what’s going on at your house? And my verb/noun /adjective/adverb is “fuck”.

Cream pie.

@janedelila – I have no idea what you are talking about. Where is cleaning in the thread?

janedelila's avatar

@iamthemob in your topics. Subliminal? Someone holding you down and making you scrub floors?

Corn Cob.

Where should I put this corn cob?

Man, did I get corn cobbed!

Or simply: screw.
Where did i put that screw?
Did you screw?

@janedelila – you’re right – that should be “clean.”

ps – “fuck” is not fine when used as a noun. ;-)

janedelila's avatar

@iamthemob “Get the fuck off my fuck (noun)! Or I will fucking kill you.” Sounds kind of fine.

CMaz's avatar

@janbb – Don’t be like that. ;-)

@ChazMaz Sorry – was just channeling @gailcalled and @Jeruba in their absence.

I understand. :-)
