negative nouns...

[bluepinky]

Could anyone give me more examples of negative nouns, please?

Thank you.

As a Brit and mentor, but not a teacher, I'm not sure, but would "nobody" or "nonentity" fit the bill - as in "He's a nobody/nonentity as far as I'm concerned"?

Hehe...nice to see you here again.

Negative nouns such as moaner, workaholic (is this a noun or an adjective?).

Thanks again.

I see. You mean like 'gangster'? 'pusher'?

[bluepinky]

hahaha!!! I mean, not positive... I wanna use the modifier a bit of a + negative noun. But I can't think of other words eh. Can you say "He'a a bit of a gangster/pusher?"

Thanks.

I see. What's your complete sentence then?

[bluepinky]

I don't have a sentence. Just the phrase "a bit of a + negative noun". I'm still thinking of the negative nouns.
