verbify

What happens to a word when someone decides to make a literary change to it, or to slang it. For example, access. Access used to be a noun, and now it's a verb. In factuality, the word verbify would not exist if itself had not happened to itself. Hence, verbify got verbified, or verbed. The present tense (another example, adjective to verb) of the action is always verbify, but the past tense can be either verbified, or tensed into "verbed." However, "verb itself did not get verbed, so you cannot verb a word, but a word can be verbed.
Verbify Examples:

Before: Do you have access to the top secret work?

After: Did you just access the top secret work?

Before: That's a slang word.

After: That word got slanged.

Before: He was extremely tense.

After: He suddenly tensed.

joke-a-versity

A mediocre institution of higher education; a pejorative term for a university one dislikes.
1. "I am tired of paying tuition to that joke-a-versity I attend." 2. "This university is so mediocre it is a joke-a-versity." 3. "I read Dr. G. Louis Heath's book ILLINOIS STATE JOKE-A-VERSITY. It registers his animus toward the university he retired from. Though pejorative, his use of the concept JOKE-A-VERSITY is refreshing."
