"rock n roll"
What if I use it as an adjective?
And for the record, I've heard (at least a million times) people say "you rock-n-roll" as a thank-you compliment.

I'm more familiar with "You rock", but if anyone said "You rock-n-roll" in that sense, then "rock-n-roll" would be a verb not an adjective.

BTW You guys say that in the UK too? Surprised to know that:)

maelstromYes I do know that, which is why I asked if it's ok to use it as an adjective,It can certainly be used to modify nouns, as in "a rock-n-roll lifestyle" or "He's very rock-n-roll". Whether it is a true adjective or really still a noun seems debatable.
