All French nouns are masculine or feminine, and are preceded by 'le' or 'la' accordingly.

but suppose you are working in your lonely garret (!) inventing something absolutely brand-new, different, -never heard of before. Completely unknown. And you succeed....

"Eureka!" you shout, running naked into the street, - I've invented a new what'sit and I'm going to call it a `xzcqqpdzrrt' !"

But it's a "Thing", and therefore a noun.

So who, why, and when decides if it's 'le' or 'la'?

My Mom swears that I worded this sentence wrong. I told her that it was correct and the way it would incorrect was if I used a comma between great and big. The sentence is "You are a great big brother!" The sentence is not supposed to mean he is fat or large. Is this correct?

I’m looking for a single word (or at least a short term) that is the opposite of “shill.”

Let me provide some context for what I intend to mean by shill:
In situations where someone is presenting something to a crowd of neutral onlookers (this can include on the internet), either selling something or presenting an idea, a “shill” is a person who is part of the con or has been paid off ahead of time, and pretends to be one of those unassociated onlookers but to act really impressed (“That’s so cool! I’ll buy one!” or “I totally agree!”). The idea is to get other people to go along using crowd psychology.

Now when I say the “opposite of a shill,” I mean a person who similarly pretends not to be associated with the presenter, but has been paid off to act as an ANTAGONIST.

I've thought of "networker" "friend-catcher" "mail master" etc.

But I don't think I've quite got it yet.

I'm looking for a couple of words that fit in a phrase of the type "Thanks to (my product) you can be a great xxxx-xxxx"

Any ideas?

10 points and heartfelt thanks for the best answer.
