If you object to using nounds as verbs, I expect you to never again hammer a nail or screw in a screw. You won’t be able to vote, shoulder the blame or table a discussion. The only difference between those nouns turned into verbs and the ones you complain of is the conversion happened before your time.

Swear word, verb: Adult you!
Adverb: Adultly.
Adjective: Adult, adulter, adultest.
(Trying to work “adultery” into the joke, but no luck. Give it a shot yourself, folks!)

Language is always changing, and every generation of youth change things in ways that drive their elders crazy. It’s tradition.

A coworker of mine has a sign on her desk that says, “I’m sorry. I can’t adult today.”
Let’s just say I can relate.
