"Shark" isn't an adjective; it's a noun. "Sharky" would be, I suppose, an adjective, meaning something along the lines of "shark-like." (Which, technically, doesn't make much sense to call a Great White shark-like.)
"Kitty" and "puppy" are both nouns.
My noticing this trend (and I don't know if it's a trend, but it is something that, as I have begun to notice it more and more, has become a pet peeve) began with "shiny." How can something be
a shiny.
In any case, I didn't want to start a whole thing. There's a great white at the MBA! Let's stop trying to force a name upon it and talk about how cool/dangerous/potentially bad for the shark this could be.
So, who's going?
