Trendspotter
Watch closely as I magically turn a noun into a verb...
It's an American phenomenon that's been evolving quietly. With the word 'picturize' recently added to the Oxford English Dictionary, is this ridiculous noun-turned-verb trend here to stay?
Three made-up words have recently caught our attention:
- Funeralize – "My aunt was recently funeralized"
- Diarize – "Please diarize the following information"
- Nuptialize – "I'm seriously thinking of re-nuptializing" (there's definitely no 'seriously thinking' going on if that word is being used...)
What's the point of doing this? Is it sophisticated? Is it clever? We don't think so. What next? We can only begin to imaginize...
