[Stevie] You've just given me the most marvellous business idea.

Mister Flopsy, TriColour Dutch: a rabbit dead as a doornail
Gentlemen we can rebuild him
We have the technology
We have the capability to make the world's first bionic rabbit
Mister Flopsy will be that rabbit
Better than he was before
Better, Smarter, Fluffier

[Stevie] If you can't verb taxidermy, you can't have taxidermiing as a gerund. That alone should be reason enough.

(SM) Good thinking. You can't verb anything because verb is not a verb except when it is. I have now fulfilmentized my role as a member of the grammar and style police (fel aelod yr heddlu gramadeg ac arddull in Welsh BTW FWIW).

I'm half-Welsh, but I'm struggling with how to pronounce Btwfwiw.

(CdM) Try half of it then. The bigger half.

Since nouns are too often verbed, can we balance the trend by nominalizing verbs (other than the speaking entirely in gerunds)?

What's the verb form of 'nutrition'? Nutritioned? Nutritised?

nutrit, nutritted, nutriting

It's not a popular word. In use, it sounds a bit too much like something else.

(SM, pen) Nutrify. Sgoddaby.

Nourish, surely.

The adjectival -ish suffix means like, or somewhat, so 'nourish' clearly means something that's a bit noury.

(SM) I have a cousin-in-law who I wouldn't be so ungallant as to describe her as a large dog but she is nevertheless Danish.

Does that imply "dish" means "like the letter D" then?

Yes, and the same for 'fish' and 'wish' too. One of the great benefits of having a highly consistent language like English is that these rules are 100% reliable.

Ah, but you speak of Engl, not the debased English!

Oh yeah. That is a good point.

So, if some town planner decides to make a location vaguely resemble a Birmingham suburb, would that be astonishing?
