I see your pedantry, and raise it one more! Through substantivization one can definitely have stream-of-<adjective>. Think "a stream of blue" or "a stream of the poor". People often shave off the tail of well-known expressions: “same difference” → “same diff” “no big deal” → “no big” “It’s no big.” “fair enough” → “fair” “Fair.” “good enough” → “good enough” → “good” “Yeah, that’s good.” (implies good enough) “I don’t know” → “dunno” |

Though typically not in writing, that’s more of a speech thing.
