Lacklustre is strictly an adjective in the U.S., but it is acceptable as a noun for such a condition in England, where stick-jaw is gummy candy, a spitfrog is a small sword and a lockspit is a trench no wider than the tool it is dug with, used to mark (` lock ') the turf (` spit') either to assert a legal claim or to guide the diggers.
