Nerbing

nerb (v.) - to use a noun as a verb

This term probably exists somewhere in the dictionary of literary akdhvua...but my inexperience in such areas are minimal (I just enrolled in freshman English my junior year [two years of AP English mean nothing when you get to college]), and learning that would devastate my creative confidence. --speaking especially to the two English majors who are currently my only followers

So for the time being I am going to follow the Shakespearean trend and invent my own words starting with this one.

Examples of nerbing:
"For some reason I have no problem working at 4 a.m. but I can't 'school' at 8 or even 'church' at 9"
"At school the 'little Nemoed' kid was 'shark baited'."
"Oh I totally 'Stophed' you!"
"I'm goin 'Lyndsi Shaein' today"

Since my creation's birth I have begun to recognize a lot more of his kind and I hope to pass this along as we enter a new era of literature and the arts--the Stoph
