Noob question: why are nouns called nouns? Does each one have a particular noun (in English or some other language) attached?

hey vitalik! glad to see you in this corner of ethereum. nouns are called nouns because each head represents a noun. you can play with all the heads here: https://nouns.wtf/playground

Also, as I see it, anything can be turned into a Noun if you put the iconic glasses (noggles) on it. Be it a people, place or thing.

gm! The art is all people, places and things but @4156 can probably elaborate more. If you want a deep dive, for the 2nd birthday, the Nounders created a discord that ran back the founding of the project, development of the art etc so you can see how it all came together. https://discord.gg/VqxrYMANUq

This is an early tweet about the project. https://x.com/punk4156/status/1400154938186031104?s=46&t=foT-g0aIgMh7iWeeq46buQ For the second anniversary the team ran back a discord with bots representing each team member in realtime and the whole creation process from ideation to execution.

Nouns are people, places, and things, who together, fund ideas! This NFT doesn’t explain why. But it’s delightful and worth the 55 sec. https://zora.co/collect/eth:0x59b5cc0af0c12d95028399bc93f8b815bb95d387/1

You can put any word in front of DAO and build towards the Schelling point of what that would be, so NounsDAO plays at the general case. I think of the Schelling point of any DAO as what the word in front of DAO “wants”. For me a noun “wants” to mean something, so that’s the goal of NounsDAO.

People places and things but pretty much a vibe and definitely not a cult.

in addition the right answers below (head art), I also interpret as a joke abt the absurdity of assigning value to an object/word itself (ie NFTs in general)

None of the replies seem to directly answer your question. I looked it up and the genesis tweet said “After pronouns, there were Nouns” (https://x.com/punk4156/status/1400154938186031104). Sounds like a play on the concept of identity where one’s “noun” on the blockchain is an avatar (cf. the 2nd reply on X).

Yes, all but one is a verb technically I think. The way it is drawn seems to imply the action more than the thing itself. Sometimes the accessory attributes (also mostly nouns and not all English!) can thematically modify the whole into becoming a new compound noun.

I always thought it was a play on all the generic NFT projects. 'The Somethings'. Or 'Adjective Animal'.
