verbed

Turned into action

Verbed is the past tense of verb, meaning to turn a word into a verb or use a noun as a verb: Someone verbed "gift" and now we all have to live with it.

The usage is often humorous or self-aware, acknowledging the flexibility—and occasional awkwardness—of English word formation.
