Baseball

No - a person ('you') cannot be a sport.

- Do you like baseball?
- Are you playing baseball?

Another question. How would you interpret this sentence? Does it make sense at all?

Are you cosmetics?

TakaAre you cosmetics?

Nope. Could it be someone meant 'Are you interested in cosmetics?' It certainly doesn't make sense as it stands.

Then what about the underlined parts here?

You've got us confused; you are charging me for the soon special; the man in front of me was noon special; I'm the soup.

I think these are suggesting that the person has paid for or ordered a particular item (the noon special or the soup) so they are saying 'I'm the person who is having [that item]' to distinguish them from a person who is having something different.

I guess what this all boils down to is that you can say 'are you baseball?' if you were someone who had signed up for baseball as an activity and someone wanted to distinguish you from someone who hadn't. It's not formal English though.

TakaDoes this sentence make sense? Are you baseball?

It could be a shorthand in conversation for something like "Are you here to sign up for the baseball team?" or "Are you here to watch the baseball game (as opposed to some other attraction)?". More context is needed.

Edit: OK, I see now that this has already been pointed out.

In other words, without proper context, as a stand alone sentence, neither "Are you baseball" or "Are you cosmetics", "He was noon special, I'm the soup" seems to make sense, and they all sound weird?

They risk looking wrong or nonsensical without the context. As this thread demonstrates, I think, someone presented out of the blue with a sentence such as "

Good!
