verbing for the greater glory of man

Nix: So if I wanted to get really *fast* at wiiing (damn horrible made-up words that don't fit English)...
Steve VanDevender: You took a noun and added "-ing" to it to make a verb.  What's more English than that?

pedant: it's actually a verbal noun (rather than a participle, or +ing form of the verb). They look the same but they're structurally different.

So actually you took a noun and verbed it and then noun-ed it back.

Wii -> verbed (I wii, he wii, you wii) -> nominalizing +ing (Wiiing is fun)
