parsing problems

[cellio]

CNN front page today: "Bush fires rage across Australia"... took me a moment to realize that "fires" is a noun and "bush" is an adjective here, rather than our president being up to something.

Last night, on a menu: "quarter roasted chicken"... no, on reflection, probably *not* like twice-cooked pork.

Is this a sign that my inner word nerd doesn't get out enough, or that it gets out too much? :-)
