You are right. Adjective describes a noun and a verb is a action. Sorry

>Start with "rocking chair", a chair on grooved rails that rocks back and

>A "rocking horse" is a toy wooden horse, similar to a rocking chair.

>Rock n' Roll, was early 20th century American slang euphemism for... ehm,
>that
>action which creates parents.

>Rock n' Roll, or Rock for short, was then applied to music with a fast beat,
>the beat having a frequency appropriate to said action.

>Such music is generally celebratory, and so "rock" has become a synonym
>for fun
>or merriment, especially among those who prefer this form of music.

>So "muLinux rocks the party" means "muLinux is as fun as things the speaker
>approves of, like music or dancing or other things."
