A wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagi
After dinnerring us with Chicken Parmigiana and Spaghetti Bolognese, the server desserted us with Tiramisu.

Remember to clean the lint filter when you're done dryering.

Have the breakfast china and glassware been dishwashered yet?


Your turn, world!

According to the OED, you'll have to time-travel back to the 16th century if you want to slap the first person who used 'gift' as a verb.

They also record the first use of the verb 'dinner' in Robert Burns in 1796: I dinner'd wi' a Lord. For that matter, we often use breakfast and lunch as verbs, so why not dinner?

Verbifying--a word which itself dates back nearly 200 years to 1823--isn't new.
