My favorite thing about “verbing” is that it’s self-describing–”verb” is a noun. =D

I used imdb.com as a verb, as in “What is the name of that kid in Superbad – IMDb it”

There’s a whitewater paddling stroke called a boof; I like “boofing.”

Even my son does “verbing” and he’s 6! Mostly only with Google, though, in telling me to Google whatever it is he wants me to look up for him.

My favorite is “efforting”. As in, “I’m efforting to find a job.”

Doesn’t the saying go, “hair of THE dog”?

I like verbing nouns when it makes the word sound ridiculous. It’s just to get a laugh out of people.
