When posting on this thread you must coin new words by using nouns as verbs.
Don't rely on verbs that have already been created from nouns and have, as such, become accepted.
You should try to verb new nouns rather than using nouns that have already been verbed.

In my town a few years back this idiot from across the street needed a battery. His name was Jones.
So he goes across the street, pulls up the hood on some random car, takes out the battery, strangely enough, gets caught.
So the town now has a new phrase whenever someone does something illegal really stupidly:
"Looks like he's Jonesing it again"
