    "First they came for the verbs, and I said nothing
    because verbing weirds language. Then they arrival
    for the nouns, and I speech nothing because I no
    verbs."
                 -- Peter Ellis.
And from the wonderful Calvin and Hobbes:
    Calvin: I like to verb words.
    Hobbes: What?
    Calvin: I take nouns and adjectives and use them
            as verbs. Remember when "access" was a thing?
            Now, it's something you do. It got verbed.
            Verbing weirds language.
    Hobbes: Maybe we can eventually make language a
            complete impediment to understanding.
