``shell`
$ npm install adj-noun
`javascript
var adjNoun = require('adj-noun');
// seed it so your pairs are different than someone else using this lib
adjNoun.seed(123);
// -> true
// optionally you can provide primes to adjust how words are chosen:
adjNoun.adjPrime(3);
adjNoun.nounPrime(7);
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// generate and log pairs
console.log(adjNoun().join('-'));
}
// console.logs ->
// lasting-meaning
// numerical-excerpt
// unresponsive-madman
// royal-haircut
// squeaky-schedule
// respectable-compressor
// northern-knife
// shrewd-tribute
// blank-volcano
// rhenish-periodical
// after you start generating pairs, you cannot change the seed or primes
// otherwise you might end up with non-unique pairs
adjNoun.seed(456);
// -> false
