What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

Nah.There's no reason why you can't use an adjective in place of a noun when the noun is strongly implied. For example:
"Wendy cooked a delicious roast"
"It's easy to blame the poor"
"I'm playing with my Lego"
See?
Edit: Lego is awesome.

Fuck - I just disproved my own pointBecause: "Wendy cooked six delicious roast dinners" would become "Wendy cooked six delicious roasts".
Although... "It's easy to blame a poor person" vs. "It's easy to blame poor people"... Help me internet, I confus'ed myself.

Maybe it's just an arbitrary point that only idiots care about.Maybe.

I get more worked up by Paul Hollywood,describing someone's biscuit as "a good bake." partly because I'm not convinced that "a good bake" is particularly meaningful, and partly because I think that Paul Hollywood is a bit of a wally.
