"Mya is some sort of collective mania." - Álvaro Barredo

I've previously mentioned that "baker's" is a quantity modifying adjective for saying "+1"

There are some other possessive adjective modifiers worth noting:

  • devil's: something disorienting or otherwise unnerving or unpleasant (a devil's bargain, a devil's nap, devil's food cake)
  • lion's: something that is large or a majority (lion's share)
  • crow's: something high up (crow's nest, crow's feet (which are high up on the body, since they're associated with the eyes))
  • widow's: something generally overlooking the rest (widow's peak, widow's walk)
  • cat's: something outstanding or extraordinary (cat's pajamas, cat's meow, cat's whiskers)

Because they're modifiers, you can also combine them into sequences to further describe things more clearly™
