Verb + it

Examples

  • "Why don't we Tiki/Dominoes/Usdan/Sherman it." Refers to where food is to be acquired.
  • "I think I'll walk/drive/Branvan/Shuttle-bus it." Refers to mode of transportation to be used.

Comments, Hypotheses

Seems to refer to a certain means to some end. Usdan is the means of food, Branvan is the means of transportation, etc.

Why don't we tiki it? Because that's gross. --Sean. Oh, it's nice to see that mod_rewrite is working well.
