Central City News: Is Nigel's English as bad as his haircut?AMONGST the wealth of tatty items sold by Nigel, the peroxide blond Noun 1. peroxide blond - a blond whose hair is bleached with peroxide peroxide blonde blond, blonde - a person with fair skin and hair bombshell at Reflex, is a sickly red T shirt with "I love 80's " emblazoned across the chest. Now, purists of English straight away will note the lack of proper sentence construction. There should, of course, be a "the". Equally, the use of an apostrophe apostrophe, figure of speech apostrophe, figure of speech in which an absent person, a personified inanimate being, or an abstraction is addressed as though present. is interesting as there is no need for one. Naturally the apostrophe "s", or "s" apostrophe is only required when possession or omission is present. Even if the loving of the 80s was represented by an adjectival noun there still would be no requirement. We can only conclude that Nigel's grasp of English is as poor as his haircut! |
