Hi,
How possible is it to use nouns as adjectives in English?
For example, in the movie "Starship Troopers", there is this phrase: "it's an ugly planet, a bug planet".
If you can say "a bug planet", which means a planet full of bugs (right?), can you for example say something like "a storm future", that would mean "a future full of storms"?
Or, for someone pessimistic about the current pandemic for instance, would it be possible to say something like "a virus future is awaiting us", that would mean "a future with a lot of viruses"?
Thanks
