The Street Man's Definition of Noun, Adjective, and Verb

I heard these the other day and thought I would pass them on as these working definitions are easy for people to apply. 

Noun - any word that you can put "the" in front of

Adjective - any word that you can put "am" or "is" in front of

Verb - any word you can put "to" in front of

Try these out for yourself and see.
