I once asked a clerk at a local department store what a sign meant that read: "
Antique Bisque Dolls, Choice: 39.99", placed over a display of reproduction dolls?
The clerk called for her supervisor, who in turn called for the manager. The manager must have had a minor in English, because she told me that in this case: "The term
Antique was being used as a verb, rather than a noun".
Who woulda' thunk?
