Bazza Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: The Last Word you've never heard the word "gun" meaning very good? The closest I can find in the dictionary is "big gun informal an important or powerful person." eg: gun golfer, or gun sportsman. Another meaning could come from the phrase "young gun" but being used for a different occupation or activity you excel at. so when Cancer says loaded lawyer, and I added gun, to become loaded gun lawyer? get it now?

Bazza Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: The Last Word no. if i am correct that it is comes from "Young Gun" or from gunslinger then it is common English. I am right: gunslinger |ˈgʌnslɪŋə|noun informala man who carries a gun and shoots well.• figurative a forceful and adventurous participant in a particular sphere : the heroes of Wall Street were hip young gunslingers. the shortened form would be "gun" not "gunslinger" but the informal meaning is the same.

Cancer Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: The Last Word I guess I've never before encountered the term in that sort of construction. It's a noun, not an adjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: The Last Word That I have heard. But gun there is a noun, not an adjective; what I was trying to say is that I've never heard that construction used in an adjectival sense.
