Verbing Thread

When posting on this thread you must coin new words by using nouns as verbs.

Don't rely on verbs that have already been created from nouns and have, as such, become accepted.

You should try to verb new nouns rather than using nouns that have already been verbed.

Verbs have also been turned into nouns; like stuffing, (turkey), or rest (like take a rest" ).

I've never heard of "summering", but that makes me cringe.

A noun that has been verbed in my lifetime: impact.

I stand corrected first use as verb: 1916 for literal physical action, 1935 for figurative usage (have a strong effect.)

Cast the timestamp as Varchar(27), substring the bits you need then cast them as integer...
