This isn't a proverb, but what WT:POS fits it? Rod (A. Smith) 20:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- A phrase. Interestingly, first-come-first-served is valid as an adjective. --Keene 20:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'd bet it's used as adjective, adverb, and interjection. Not much value from having inflection lines for all three though. Would it be OK to just use one and insert the categories for the others by hand and add a usage note? DCDuring TALK 12:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's a pro-sentence, not an interjection. — Paul G 09:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
