Verbing

The grammatical choice of taking a word that is usually a noun and using it a verb.

These are all examples of verbing:
"That drag queen womans better than I do."
"I potatoed on the couch all day today"
"I'm so tired I can't even brain right now"

Verbing

Verbing: v
1. Taking a word that is not a verb and turning it into a verb by adding -ing to the end.

Comes from the latin word "verb" meaning "an action" and the root "-ing" meaning "making the word infront of it a verb."

1) I decided that the word verb needed to under go a verbing to create the word verbing so I could use it to describe the process that the word verb just under went.
2) I felt sorry for the word "strong" since it was but a mere adjective so I decided to make it a verb but making it undergo the process of verbing thus making it the verb "stronging."

Verbing

The act of doing something. In actuality the act of doing anything, while being non-descriptive about the specific verb.

Guy 1: What are you doing?
Guy 2: I'm verbing.

(In this case verbing can be meant as any of the following: chilling, relaxing, eating, swimming, driving or anything.)

verbing

The act of turning a noun into a verb. Verbing results in verbation. Although in a sense it is the inverse of a gerund, a word that has been verbed can actually be turned back into a noun as a gerund. Hence verbing is the gerund form of the verbed noun "verb."

I googled you before our first date.

Jerk! Stop verbing!
