nouns - Can I use the word "hacker" as an adjective?
Can I use the noun hacker as an adjective?
For example, can I write or say:
It was a hacker trick.
so that it means this:
It was a trick of a hacker.
And can I use
It's hacker code.
so that it means this:
The code has been created by a hacker.
Answer
Both "hacker trick" and "hacker code" are acceptable. Technically, the word doesn't become an adjective. English nouns can act as modifiers (called attributive nouns or noun adjuncts). For more information, check out this tutorial.
