verifiction

When you are attempting to verify well-documented information to locate the source, but find out it is actually based in fiction.

For example: When someone posts a bogus story on Facebook and when you try to find the source all you get is an article from someone's blog, or Fox News, but no credible source.

Dude, did you check out that story?
Yah, it's definitely verifiction.

(similar to an urban legend)

Ventrification

Ventrification is air purification specifically related to odor removal from plumbing or septic tank air vents. Most often associated with the odor elimination of vent stack gases by multi-stage zeocarbon filtration.

Many potential customers quickly drove away once after one whiff outside our seafood restaurant. After ventrification of our plumbing stacks we were able to breathe easier and our customer base doubled in less than a week.

verbification

The art, through poor language, of taking a noun and turning it into a verb. When the common verb describing what a noun does, doesn't spring to mind. Poetic license is used to best describe this action using the noun.

John "I've decided to build my own house. So I've enlisted the help of an architect. He / She will be architecting over the next few weeks".

Sam "nice verbification there John... Its a shame he'll be designing your home"
