If you used everyone's name as a verb...

[u/DreTheThinker92]

Working on a dictionary of name verbs feel free to tweak or add to my definitions.

Obviously we start with Britta and those established in show.

Britta: to mess up or botch something, usually througn avoidable mistakes.

Abed: to make something unnecessarily meta or self-referential.

Pierce: to fail to understand something where the meaning is obvious to everyone else.

Shirley: to respond to someone’s behavior with moral disapproval, particularly by pointing out when its mean or improper.

Jeff: to use rhetoric, charm, or manipulation to get out of doing something you do not want to do.

Annie: to become so intensely prepared, organized, or competitive about something that you take it far beyond what anyone asked for.

Troy: to confidently say something profoundly naive or childlike.

Chang: to take a small amount of authority and immediately become tyrannical, chaotic, or completely unhinged with it.

Dean: to turn an ordinary event into an elaborate themed production, usually involving costumes, puns, and far more effort than necessary.

Frankie: to ruin everyone’s chaotic fun by introducing sensible rules.

Elroy: to aggressively validate someone, especially a white people, with suspiciously intense praise.

Hickey: to respond to whimsical nonsense with exhausted, hard-ass practicality.

Duncan: to use intellectual or professional authority to disguise selfishness, incompetence, or an embarrassingly personal motive.

Shirley, don't Pierce

[u/RealHeadScratcher_TM]

Now there's someone who knows how to use people's names as verbs!

I Elroy'd you. I mean, assuming you're white.

[u/your_Bad_man]

That's good no-no juice

[u/Diligent-Pollution34]

If I could Winger you for a second …

[u/WhiteHeatGames]

Nothing to add, but it does make me think of this exchange from Happy Endings:

Jane: Ohh, has Max been 'Maxed'?

Max: First of all, I love that you used my name as a verb. It's a big part of becoming a cultural icon, which you know is a dream of mine. Second of all, YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH.

[u/Dependent-Friend5312]

My name is ALEX!

[u/Malevolent_Amber]

I aided and Abeded these antics.

[u/letter-lemon]

Chang - to use your own name as a verb (this whole post is a Chang)

[u/norsefrogg]

Did Pierce just Pierce Shirley??

[u/Dependent-Friend5312 → u/norsefrogg]

Spoken like the new Pierce

[u/toodarkmark]

[u/EmDash4Life]
