  10. Has an appropriate answer been given yet? The way I would see that sentence, when you're talking about the word dab itself, it means just a little bit of something. So when you say "Wanna take a dab?", the bho is only being alluded to. When you say " a dab" there, what you're really saying is " a dab of concentrate/bho", meaning a little bit of bho, but somewhere along the way the it was misinterpreted as the name of that type of concentrate, I guess.

  12. "Let's go take a dab." is not correct if dab is a verb. You would say, "Let's go dab."
    It really is a verb. 🙂
    +CopiedOriginality Walk is used as a noun in that case. "A walk" is a thing. Dabbing is an action.

  33. From my understanding, "dab" is like a nickname because of the true meaning of the word dab. Like you're only taking a dab of your concentrates because it's like a small amount on the end of your dabber. If that makes sense. Dab is used as a verb because it's like an activity, you and some friends dab together. It's a verb and a noun. A noun because a dab is what's on the end of your dabber, that's a thing, more specifically, it is a dab of concentrates. Using it as a verb is kind of incorrect because really what you're doing is like smoking or vaping. Not dabbing. You are taking dabs. A noun is a person, place or thing, and in my opinion, a dab is a thing, not something that you do(verb).

  36. Let's go take a dab.

    I say it all the time but no it's not technically a proper sentence because the word dab is a adjatiave, it shows how big something is so in that case the sentence makes no sense because it has no subject.

  37. I believe it would be a predicate nominative, used to connect a preposition or (most likely), a prepositional phrase as do Linking verbs………….I could be mistaken, I'm high! lol.

  44. "Let's go take a dab" – Switch it around to something like "Let's go take a hit". It makes sense if you know what it is. Now, grammatically speaking, there may be something wrong with it, but meh, I don't care to examine it that much. Really though, this has been something that's bothered me as well. When someone says, "I got some dab", I honestly want to backhand the life out of them. Dab isn't the name of what it is, but rather a singular dose/hit of the concentrate. It'd be like saying, "I got some hit" which obviously doesn't make sense.

  46. A good way to find out if something is correct grammatically is to replace the questionable word with a similar word. For example, It is correct to say "Lets go take a piss" and in that context, "piss" is the same kind of "verbal-noun" that "dab" is in the phrase "lets go take a dab" (Piss is also a word that is used as a verb and verbal-noun). Now, if you were trying to say "lets take a dab" meaning, lets transport a dab, that would be a regular noun equally as incorrect as "kids are doing the drug 'dab' ". Remember, "lets go take a dab" may be as correct as "lets go take a piss", but its still casual speech and not appropriate for writing.
