Gian, I'm glad you like it, but don't get too excited: the qualifications for becoming an English verb these days are very, very low. Notably, 'was a noun 5 minutes ago' seems to often cut it... But I'm replying mainly to disclaim any credit/blame attaching to me for 'verbing' you; I think that attaches rather to Steve Lieb? (Or at any rate, some- -not-I.)

Cheers,
Alex.
