@lerxst @afewbugs “Are you verbing the noun in there Billy? You’ll go blind if you’re not careful!”

Doesn’t have to be alliterative.

@cassana @afewbugs note that, without the “you”, exactly the same nouns can be used as a term of affection.

“Hello, gazebo!” — affectionate
“You table!” — insulting

As Pete Seeger noted, English is crazy.

@alice that's not a rephrasing though. That's a different question.
