Verbing

Verbing is a form of wordplay in which words other than verbs are utilised as verbs; this is often done by using nouns and adjectives as participles, though numerous other variations can be utilised. Some forms of verbing have been integrated into the English language proper, such as the noun "mail" being also utilised as a verb.
