It's OK to verbify nounals, but be
careful not to furble your neddles.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

It's less common cuz it's a perversion.
No Kraut speaker would ever use it.
Yer an "Anthony Weiner" type when you use those vowels that way.
It makes you worse than Tucker DeSantis!

Germans don't, but according to the dictionary both are acceptable in US English.

 

[Brickjectivity]

To be fair, everything is acceptable in US English, except for the word "Ain't." Its not a real word. That "Ain't" isn't a real word is an unchangeable fact of nature built into the quantum foam of reality, but everything else is negotiable.

I discovered this "yosh" word I hear a lot in Japanese is actually spelled yoshi.

Ain't is in the dictionary. It actually was long ago, removed, and is back again.

Definition of AIN'T

No one, not even the devil nor Daniel Webster, can make "Ain't" a real word. Whatever is in that dictionary is, well, not a real word. That dictionary has a hole in it, you might say.

When I was growing up we "had a party". Now people "party" Verifying nouns seems to be a thing.

I asked "HuggingChat" (the list keeps growing):

Sure! Here are ten examples of nouns that have become verbs through common usage:

2. To Xerox - means photocopying documents using a Xerox machine
3. To Fax - sending a document via fax transmission
4. To FedEx - shipping packages through Federal Express delivery service
5. To Photoshop - editing photos digitally using Adobe Photoshop software
6. To Skype - having a video call over the internet using the Skype platform

8. To Pinterest - sharing images and ideas visually through Pinterest website/app
9. To Facebook - posting content on the social media platform, Facebook

Bard, OTOH, came up with this:

1. AirBnB: We no longer “rent a home or condo on AirBnB;” we say, “I AirBnBed.”
2. eBay: We don't “sell it on eBay;” rather, we “eBay it.”
3. Coffee: We don't “meet for coffee;” rather, “we coffee.”
4. Beer: “Pass me a beer” has become “beer me.”
5. Friend: “She added me as a friend online” has become “she friended me.”
6. Heart: We no longer express that we like or love something; we “heart it.”
7. Netflix and chill: Instead of “Do you want to come over to watch Netflix and chill?” we simply say, “We Netflixed and chilled.”
8. Podcast: We no longer “listen to a podcast;” rather, we “podcast.”
9. Selfie: We no longer “take a picture of ourselves;” rather, we “selfie.”
10. Tweet: We no longer “send a tweet;” rather, we “tweet.”

Nothing to add.

So then we all agree that its 'Wiener' unless otherwise noted.

Reading over the handbook where I'll be volunteering and seeing if I can do anything at all (I'm having my doubts as a day of errands has been proving painful) I am reminded it is so very true that it's better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.
I also found some Coursera courses specifically in areas where I need help. They're paid, but it's looking like disabilities for me is going to be a time of paid retraining.

Unless it's preceded by "Anthony" or "Carlos Danger".
Anthony Weiner calls himself "weener".
I don't know what Weiner calls his wiener.
Perhaps "Little Tony", "Carlos Jr", or "Roscoe".

No, you do that stuff. I like watching tv shows and movies on Netflix, some of them I love. My friends are still just my friends and meet them for things. I get hotels, I suck big time selling on eBay, take pictures, call them stupid twits and don't listen to podcasts. I'm more geezer than thou!

Just because it went away for awhile and faced harsh attacks and reemerged like Poland doesn't make it wrong.
The real holes in dictionaries are poor definitions that don't actually define the word. Like most have an entry for feminine and masculine but don't really define those or tell you what they mean.

"Caint" is a real word. Used in a sentence: "I caint do that."

Yeah. And I usually hear caint from people who use ain't, especially in the South.
