Best verbified noun of all time.
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2239213.html

Ricky Lackey was asked by a judge how many children he had during sentencing on an attempted theft charge.

Lackey, 25, of Cincinnati, told Hamilton County Judge Melba Marsh: "None, but I have six on the way."

"Are you marrying a woman with six children?" asked the confused judge.

"No, I be concubining," he replied, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

3. "Verb" of course.
"Verbified" is a simple, true example of the verbing of the language.

Least favorite: Office.
