Verbing is the linguistic transformation of nouns into verbs, becoming more and more common these days. Corporate America is a big perpetrator. So are millennials. Some examples:
Providing incentives/incentivize
Putting food on a plate/plating food
Engaging in dialogue/dialoguing
make a friend/friend someone
Look something up on google/google it
Show disrespect/be disrespected (dissed)
use a bookmark/bookmark a page
put the mail in my inbox/inbox a person(send a message, usually on facebook)
perform a task/being tasked
make a transition/transition to
taking action/actioning
There are so many more!!!! Some have made our language more efficient. Some are just plain weird!
