Remember
when it drove you a little nutty when people made verbs out of nouns? Now it’s
so common, we don’t even question it. In our little neighborhood, everyone
around the park has a porch, and in the fall, we take turns inviting neighbors
for a Saturday evening get-together. The tradition has come to be called ‘porching.’
Sitting on a porch and chatting while consuming libation. Makes sense, doesn’t
it?
As a
writer and an editor, the term still makes me a little red-pen-y (my new idiom
for ‘needing to circle word with red pen and add a question mark.’)
When an
event notice came out this week that the city approved us to have a bonfire near
the river bluff, the title had me reaching for my red pen. “We’ll be Bonfiring
Sunday!” Okay, the person who sent this is going to hear a few choice grammar rules
from me Sunday—whilst I’m marshmallowing and smoreing!
What
are your favorite nouns that have become verbs?
Hope
you all are great-day-ing!
