Talk:top of the line

Noun?
Noun? I'd say adjective, or, even better, adjective phrase. Sounds a bit awkward though. Does such a thing exist? Ncik 09 Apr 2005
 * Good catch. Yes, adjective phrase. I pasted in my template and probably just neglected to change that (though sometimes idioms are hard to characterize).  Oops.--Dvortygirl 21:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Changed to "Adjectival phrase"; that's what Wikipedia says. I'm a bit surprised though, since on the other hand we say "noun phrase", not "nomial phrase". Ncik 10 Apr 2005


 * Disagree! Actually I'd say it's a noun: "this product is the top of the line", right? &mdash; whereas "a top-of-the-line product" (hyphenated), that's either an adjective, or attributive use of the unhyphenated noun. Equinox ◑ 22:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)


 * And note that is given as a noun, unlike this entry. Equinox ◑ 22:38, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
