I am here for all your grammatical needs.

The verb nom comes from the Latin nomeo, nomere, nommi, nomitus. It is second conjugation. Note the irregular perfect stem. In the Latin it congugates thus in the present:

nomeo
nomes
nomet
nomemus
nometis
noment

It also has an irregular present imperative: NOM.

Obviously, therefore, in English it conjugates like this:

I nom
You nom
He/she/it noms
We nom
You (pl) nom
They nom.

I will nom (etc)

I was nomming (etc)

I nommed (etc)

I will have nommed (etc)

I had nommed (etc)

The present participle is "nomming" and the perfect participle is "nommed".

Adjectivally, nommable indicates something which is worthy or suitable for nomming.

(IT DOES NOT REALLY COME FROM LATIN; WE MADE THIS UP.)

OMG, SHAMROCK SHAKES!!

Oh, the endless, endless love I have for those shakes. I may have been known to drive to several different McDonalds around the end of Easter season until I can find one that still has some Shamrock shake mix left...

OMG I did that with eggnog lattes, I'd go from Starbucks to Starbucks looking for them, and THIS ONE BARNES AND NOBLE Starbucks took them off their menu, but the continued to serve me eggnog lattes until the end of January. I imagine I was using their supply of eggnog up. I can't imagine how past its expiration date it was.

Arby's says that it's offering a chocolate mint shake, but I am sceptical. If I wanted chocolate in my shit mint goodness, I'd go to Steak N Shake.

Haha, funny you should mention lattes. I just found a Starbucks yesterday that still has a big container full of Gingerbread flavoring, so I know where I'll be going for awhile. ;-)
