nonstop

Rfv-sense: "A convenience store open 24 hours a day." Any cites to corroborate this? --Robbie SWE (talk) 10:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

A Google Books search suggests it does not usually occur in English. However, the adjective nonstop was borrowed into Hungarian, Romanian, Czech and possibly other languages (see nonstop#Hungarian which I've just added), where it has become a noun by ellipsis, meaning "a 24-hour convenience store". As a result of this, I could find the term in a lot of English guidebooks about Hungary (three of which I added to the entry), although some of them are a bit mention-y. – Einstein2 (talk) 07:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@Einstein2, thank you for your help and for adding the Romanian section. --Robbie SWE (talk) 20:16, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

The Romanian entry was created by @Soap. I've now added a noun section that corresponds to the challenged English sense. – Einstein2 (talk) 20:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

cited. I moved the most mention-y cites to the citations page, and replaced them with cites that are more clearly uses. Kiwima (talk) 20:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
