Years ago, I had the following quoted to me, and attributed to someone (anon.?) in IBM pubs.: "Any noun can be verbed." I dont know if someone was really quoted as saying that, or whether it was just made up to explain computer manuals, but anyone who has enough old IBM manuals under his belt will recognize the sentiment.
