Limelight 

Limelight is: A very intense light used in pre-electric theaters created by a controlled heating of the mineral lime until it glows.

Limelight isn't: A word that has anything to do with burying plague victims.
As an example: A "professor" who does not do his etymological research but know's that lime's extreme alkalinity can be used to disinfect and help the decomposition of bodies might make up a story about plague victims wandering among corpses being the center of a crowd's attention and conflate this supposition with the actual use of limelight in theaters to cast spotlights.

Limericking

The social media site ritual of composing limericks dedicated to worn out and wasted (ex-)Group Admins. Typically observed on the occasion of the send off party, after both "cake" and "beer" have been typed.
"Many thanks to {name of worn out and wasted (ex-)Group Admin} for being such a proactive and positive admin. Your influence will be missed."

"Clearly this occasion needs limericking."

"Should I look up "limericking" in the Urban Dictionary in case there's a meaning I'm not aware of?"

limericize

And so I limericize thus:
There once was a girl from the abyss,
she needed a word which didn't exist,
so she went on this site,
said "I must make this idea right,
this word I myself will enlist!"
