Tumblr post by ace-nyctophyle and replies: any noun can become a verb if you don’t care enough This point is invalid unless you use an example in your sentence I CAN SENTENCE HOW I WANT THANK BEAUTIFUL I like to velociraptor around my house at 2 in the morning. My headache makes me want to clothesline into a wall why do these make some semblance of sense Because brains don't brain logically Brains do brain logically! But when english doesn't logic englishly, brain brains by itself to logic that english !

@NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Verbing weirds language.

Calvin and Hobbes in three panels. They are standing in a snowy landscape. Calvin tells Hobbes I like to verb words. Hobbes asks What? Calvin explains I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when access was a thing? Now it's something you do. It got verbed. Finally Calvin says Verbing weirds language. To which Hobbes replies Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding.

    @NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop the smallest bearer of meaning in language is not wordsbut the knotsby inbosoming the knots rather than words we unchain our expressiongreatens our ability to speak clearilymakes our speech more meltable makes it easy to tinker with wordsit will spark a fire
