Is the following sentence correct:
Games that have us like (whoa sign)
The sentence above is a heading of the description of the most interesting apps in 2019.
I am curious to know if the sentence "Games that have us like (without whoa sign)" makes any sense. Let me make this clear that in the sentence above I am asking if the sentence makes any sense without whoa sign.
It is not a complete sentence because it demands further information: What do these games do or what did somebody do to them? The verb has does not create a complete sentence because it is in a subordinate clause introduced by that.
It is a noun phrase or nominal, since it is a combination of words that expresses an idea that might be the subject or object of a complete sentence.
The phrase "games that have us like" makes sense, but it's an incomplete thought.
The meaning of the phrase "games that have us like, 'whoa'" (or however you might spell that) is games that when played, or watched, made us react with astonishment.
More generally, the phrase "[noun/pronoun] has us like [reaction]" means the noun/pronoun caused us to feel the stated way.
For example, a quick search turns up these two results:
"[Her] booty has me like, whoa" - when I see her butt, I am astonished
"Instagram stories got me like, you all need to listen to better music" - when I see your Instagram stories, I feel like you need to listen to better music.
This construction is slang and should only be used in contexts where slang is appropriate.
So, "games that have us like" makes sense, but demands more information, just the same as the phrase, "books that make us think of" - think of what?
