Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Sounds a little odd to my ear.
Not common, but it's fine.
E.g.: "In my first year of college, I got the need for a car."
I mean, the need needs to arrive somehow.
I think the only time you'd see this as a stand alone sentence would be when the final word rhymes with 'speed'.
Sounds like someone did a Google search...
I will say that it is very possible that this is a new expression that came out of "Need for Speed". However, it seems that people use it now, so... since we English imperialists are not bound by some written law on what is right and wrong, I see no problem present.
> since we English imperialists are not bound by some written law
> on what is right and wrong
You mean, unlike the French? ;-)
Oh, well... Now that you mention it... Yea! I guess it is unlike the French!
This doesn't sound too bad to me, so I'm removing the NNC tag.
I wonder when this got NNC-ed...
