The
process
of using a
noun
in such a way that it becomes a
verb

Ironically
, the
phrase
"verbing nouns" itself contains a verbed form of the noun "verb". The following phrases also contain verbed nouns:
"Please do not
boot
me in the
arse
."
"Verbing weirds
language
." (
Calvin
)
"Watch me as
I
input
this
data
."
"When authoring a verbed noun or
colloquialism
, please
thesaurus
first to see if you can
synonym
it with a real
word
."
