Language Nerd
Not to go all sentence fragment on you.
Title text: Not to go all sentence fragment on you.

Explanation

Megan is telling Cueball that she used 'legit' as an adverb. By saying this - i.e. "I (...) adverbed" - she's using 'adverb' as a verb. In the beginning of the sentence she also used 'language nerd' as an adjective, which is why she's saying that she "adjectived" it.
