I’m going to put on my old-man pants this morning and kvetch. When did “gift” become a verb? Was I asleep when this happened? Did I not get the memo? Is it now acceptable to say, “Gift the gift that keeps on gifting?” Where does it stop?
“Here, I have a give for you.”
“A what?”
“You know, a give! I’m gifting you a give! Come on, take it! ‘Never look a give horse in the mouth’!”
Is this is one of those things that makes you de facto old if you object? (“Dude! Language evolves all the time!”) If it is, I guess I’m there. Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch.
