Non-standardised verbing.

[ApeShapeDeity]

Particularly amongst us gamers and net dwellers, it's become quite prevalent that we verb words that aren't traditionally verbs;

Eg. Ninja'd, Burger et cetera.

What words do you love/hate the verbing of?

I prefer verbification to verbing. It sounds slightly more... believable.

LOL. I'll pay that. Pretty much why I posted this thread. Do you suppose other languages are as liberally approached?

Edit: LMAO @ similar.squirrel's edit... I think you can guess what it was.

Eatzed is probably the verbing I use the most online, followed by the classic variation of "owned".

I can only imagine so. It's hard for me to wrap my brain around the concept of people thinking and speaking a language that isn't English. It seems stupid, but it's strange to me.
