"a/an + adjective"

I am wondering why some of my friends and actors on tv said... for example

"She is a funny."
"She is an amazing."
"It is an interesting."

are these only for slang or what? I asked my teachers about that; they said these are wrong.

I know the adjective rules: adjective + noun and linking verb + adjective.

There's no need to be sar

Those are all okay if there is a NOUN after them.

You are funny. You are a funny girl.
He is lonely. He is a lonely old man.
She is happy. She is a happy person.
