Ok, my inner pedant is coming out. In the sentence "The used car sales really gave him the Shook." Shook is the object of the verb gave, objects by definition are nouns. To use as a verb, you could say "The used car salesman Shooked him real good." Or "Look at that used care salesman shooking him real good." Like many words in the english language you can use them as nouns and verbs and other parts of speech interchangeably with just a few small changes to the root word. To wit:
Do you really think you can Shook me like that and get away with it? [verb] See that poor Shook over there?. [noun] Get that Shooking thing away from me, I don't know where it's been. [adjective] He Shookily emailed me and I was quite disturbed.. [adverb] Shook! That's nasty! [interjection] It's not quite as versatile as another word you may know about or even use regularly, but you get the idea. I don't think you could use Shook as a preoposition, conjuntion and certainly not a pronoun. -Jonathan On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 4:37 PM, Tim Vander Kooi <[email protected]>wrote: > I consider Shook to be more of a verb than a noun (as in, “The price of > gas went up today and really made me feel like I’d been Shooked.” Or “The > used car salesman really gave him the Shook.”). > > TVK > > > > - Problems become opportunities when the right people join together. > > > > *From:* David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Friday, August 07, 2009 3:22 PM > > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* RE: U.S. Marines ban Facebook, MySpace, Twitter > > > > Marines = men > > Army = Shook > > > > *From:* Weatherford, Chad [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Friday, August 07, 2009 12:08 PM > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* RE: U.S. Marines ban Facebook, MySpace, Twitter > > > > Hey now, the Marines may go in first but they wouldn’t hold the ground > without the Army coming in behind them! > > > > *cw* > ------------------------------ > > *From:* Brumbaugh, Luke [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Friday, August 07, 2009 2:00 PM > *To:* NT System Admin Issues > *Subject:* RE: U.S. Marines ban Facebook, MySpace, Twitter > > > > The Grunt I meant was Army (slang <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang> for > an infantryman <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantry>) > > > > > > > > *From:* David W.
