Verb. It's what you do.

What the piss is this?

We’ve all heard about the public health nightmare that is childhood obesity in America. It’s a serious problem, and I applaud any effort to combat this preventable condition on a large scale.

<sarcasm on… now!>

Like this grammar-themed website, for example. It shows kids that it’s “cool” to do things that are verbs. See, we get kids to choose a verb, right? And then we encourage them to act on that verb! Like for instance, today my verb is “sit”.

And it’s not just a website either! Turn on Nickelodeon. You’re likely to see way happenin’ Gen-Y’ers performing their totally rad verbs! Bitchen, dude! And there are radio spots too! It’s about time someone got kids to exercise by appealing to their natural interest in parts of speech.

My verb for tomorrow is “fuck”, as in “Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson is a stupid…”

<always close your sarcasm tags, kids. It’s way uncool not to>

Mine is “pee”.

Way. It’s not an adverb. :wink:

Verb off, pronoun.

Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why not tell your lazy-ass kid to go outside for a couple hours and verb whatever it wants out there!

Sorry, crazy idea, I know.

Well, verb this verbing substantive.

cuauhtemoc, maybe you should check that site out- it’s not nounnow.com, it’s verbnow.com, as in “Tommy Thompson can go ____ himself”.

The first time I saw the ad on a bus stop I was confused- “They’re trying to sell me verbs?”

Wha? Whadahuh?

Stop whatting the issue.

What’s the Schoolhouse Rock for verbs?

[Subject] I [predicate] will drink [object] beer.

That’s What’s Happening!

VAGINA!!!

Yeah, what you all looking at?

That’s a weird website. I kept hunting around it trying to find out what VERB means. I thought it was an acronym or something.

V.E.R.B. Very… uh… egregious… no, uh…

Oh, verb it.

This reminds me of Buckminster Fuller’s motivational mantra “I seem to be a verb.”

I haven’t read the book of the same title, so maybe he elaborated on it enough to make it sensible.

You have been whooshed by a grammar joke, Lembeck. :smiley:

My verb is work. :frowning:

“Rad?” “Bitchen?” Little out of touch?
