FRIDAY NIGHT WORDNERD FUN: Ref-verbs

OK so the other day the inimitable and brilliant Maura Quint used Kool-Aid Man as a verb, something like "I just Kool-Aid Manned my way into the conversation."

I love - fucking LOVE - cultural refs turned into funny awkward verbs (or alternately maybe modifiers, too?) and I'm trying to think of others, but I've only come up with a couple, which I'll cite.

Leroy Jenkins - I'm pretty sure it was Jamie from The British History Podcast who referred to someone Leroy Jenkinsing into some fraught or violent circumstance (which is a bit like Kool-Aid Manning, but just consider that a coincidence).

Genesis Device - wherein I cite [ahem] MYSELF, who used it in ref to a particular football program, which is said just needed to "just be Genesis Deviced so they can start over."

I realize this is a bit deep-in-the-weeds but just if you see this and it sparks a ref you have seen, let's say, enverbed, or have so-enverbed yourself, let me know!
