There is a more formal use of the word. Not exactly common but does fit the rules of the thread.

I think it would be fun to compare three teams: all ADJ, all VERB and all NOUN.
To give some parity, we should consider peak seasons only, and allow no repeats; due to NOUNs natural spending advantage, a mixed NOUN-VERB player will always default to VERB. Likewise a mixed NOUN-ADJ or VERB-ADJ will always go to the ADJ team.
I wonder if they're close, competition wise.
