The verbing of nouns - like what I just did in taking the noun "verb" and making it into a verb - is something that seems to happen much more frequently in American English than in British or other Englishes. Sometimes it annoys me when I see it and sometimes I think it's really clever - but the amazing thing is we always know what it means!
