Shall we call it Xiaouing?  We really should verbify his name.  It's so cool 'cause it has 5 vowels in succession!

--- Quote from: Hoopz on June 02, 2010, 08:27:42 am ---When did it become acceptable to take a noun, throw "in" or "ing" on the end of it, and use it as a verb?

Airsofting?  Clubing?  Hot tubin? 

 :dunno

Is it truly that difficult to say "We're playing airsoft" or "Let's get naked and get in the hot tub?"

Like golfing, fishing, boating?

Ya gotta have some room in your usage for slang in informal speech or you will come off as totally insufferable.  I mean, are you saying that converting a noun into a verb in informal speech is something up with which you will not put?  You see . . . sometimes the right way of saying something just isn't the right way of saying it.

Those are verbs.  I'm not saying slang isn't acceptable either.  Simply asked when this became the norm to do.

this is a post, I am posting. You are a ---meecrob---, you are douching. You are Xiaou, you are death punching.

am I right?

Tubbing/tubing, meh. 

I agree with Hypernova.  5 vowels in a row!

RayB:
MAMEing.

'nuff said!

solidteezme:
Next time ask her if she wants to see the gun show!

Smoker:
So she doesnt want to play a game where people dress up and run around the woods pretending to shoot each other, with equipment meant to be less "ouchy" ?
and you REALLY want our opinion of why she doesnt want to play?
