How do you feel about nouns that get turned into verbs? Do you have a favorite or one that annoys you? Like, are you adulting today or Halloweening later?

My cats are catting. I'm not exactly adulting at the moment, and my kids aren't exactly kidding (but they're not really even adulting either) at the moment, so we're really just peopling right now.

Only if you can pick it up and eat it, without everything falling out.
Open-faced are messy and get eaten with a fork and knife.

But if you fold an open faced sandwich down the middle, does it make it a half sandwich?

In this case, since it's really a pizza, you can't fold a sandwich down the middle. It's not a sandwich with one slice of bread. If you fold your pizza down the middle it's a taco.

Like most rural peoples, I carry a pocket knife. So for me, I reckon it’d come down to whether I feel like eating a sandwich or a taco 🤔

It comes down to do you have a knife handy.

That makes it a closed-face open-face sandwich.
Still not a sandwich proper.

I rather like the word "criming."

Ex: Trμmp is criming again.

It's succinct and coveys clear meaning.

Corporate verbifying is often silly, and requires a longer explanation than what it's trying to replace.

Language lives. When words are widely adopted, it means they serve a purpose.

I don't mind most of them. I dislike abbreviating words like "convo" or "vacay." It just irritates me for absolutely no reason.🤷‍♀️

Only if you cut it in half, & sandwich them together. If you fold it, it’s a taco 🌮

I swear to whatever deity-substitute you hold dear, Melody……

Open faced sandwiches are not sandwiches

Well, if you're not adulting, then you're kidding. As for Halloweening, you're never too old for events that involve partying and/ or candy swapping.

I hate the term adulting. As if being an adult we can choose to do anything another way.

I am a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and that show took a torch to the rules, and I found it delightful. I am sick of the term adulting, but mostly I'm a fan of mixing and matching and making new words. It's fun!

“impacting” is the one I can’t abide. Partly because when writing papers in hs & college I had to really work hard because impact was only a noun unless it was regarding wisdom teeth. So now I’m invested, like with the Oxford comma. 😊

Got one from Vampire The Masquerade...ghouled. It means be turned into a ghoul, a living creature that is addicted to feeding on vampire blood.
