Words spontaneously verbed in recent conversation: whimsy, sideways, statue. I should set up a verbing stall #words #language #verbing
If you used "Mailchimped" as a verb, I don't think we can be friends any more. #stupidAds #mailchimp #language #adSpeak #verbing #commercials #chimp
What “verbing” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediaverbing
- verbTo use any word that is not, or had not been a verb (especially a noun) as if it were a verb.
In linguistics, conversion, also called zero derivation or null derivation, is a kind of word formation involving the creation of a word from an existing word without any change in form, which is to say, derivation using only zero. For example, the noun green in golf is derived ultimately from the adjective green.
