I am musing on the grammatical possibilities of the thread title.

To wit; is it possible/permissible/acceptable to use the word "nostalge" in relation to fond memories?

ie, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm nostalging."

Pleased you've opened that subject, 'cos I've no idea what it means. Thought I was the only one........

It's a bit like the word SHOP, shop always used to be a noun i.e. a building containing goods for sale. If you went to the shop to buy goods then you went shopping.

But in recent years SHOP has become a verb also and is used in place of 'shopping'. People now say, "I did my weekly shop yesterday."

So I guess the same rule can apply to nostalgia. I had a nostalge yesterday.

I did think about this for 2 minutes. Shouldn't it be reminisce?

Call me a bluff old traditionalist, but shirley the word 'shop' in that snetence is a noun?

It takes it's name from an image game buried at the back of the internet. The first was "you laugh, you lose" and the idea was to post funny pics. Other variations were, "you fap, you lose" although that might not be appropriate here.



Part of the charm is inventing new nouns,

Ahhh, I was going to mention Destruction Derby and the 8880 Lego kit (is it sad I knew the kit number without looking it up? )

Recently rebuilt that kit in fact. Definitly the high point in the history of Lego Technic it's been downhill ever since. Amazingly they made a fullscale version of it using regular lego bricks, I've seen it in the flesh once many years ago and desperately wanted to sit in it, still do in fact. hehe

I so want one of those, My first ever computing experience was the BBC micro at school, so it was well out of date then as it was 1990 but the school still didn't have anything better.
