I Just Noticed Something

I was watching the Monday Night Wars DVD and it was at the part where Nash made his WCW debut, and he says "This is where the big boys play, look at the adjective, we ain't here to play" well I'm not an English teacher or anything but I'm pretty sure play is a verb.

It was all a part of that "new math" they were trying out at the time. I kid, I kid. :)

depending on the context, he could of meant big. "look at the adjective" (we're big and) "we're not here to play". Not "look at the adjective, we're not here to play" (and we're big)

I have (somewhat sadly as an English student) considered that many times. I came up with: [LIST=1] [*]Nash is an idiot (and frankly that suits my mental picture of his personality). [*]The word he used was actually "agitive" (i.e. that which agitated Hall and Nash). While this is not gramatically incorrect, it's just as ridiculous because "agitive" is one of those horrible, dreamt up words that does not actually feature in any dictionary.

To Kevin Nash, play is an adjective. He was frequently heard describing things as "play" during his lucha period in the late 70s. He even used the expression later on during his legendary money making run as Deisel where he described Bret Hart's pink and black attire as "too play for words".
