Humaning 

To act in a way that can only be described as human.
My friend got mad at me for making up this word so I told her I'm just humaning and she should get over it.

Humaning 

Humaning is not being a little bitch about accomplishing basic human functions in a first world country.
Emily: “I don’t want to go talk to an actual person because the self-checkout is down.”
Natalie: “God damnit Emily, why do you suck at humaning?!?”

Humaning 

1) More or less the exact opposite of trolling, humaning involves not being a complete and total asshat in every way imaginable, by doing things like not swearing all the time, being genuinely helpful, or being polite despite having no reason to be.

2) Trolling, but doing it very, very poorly. There is no way that anyone, ever, will be upset in any way by an attempt at humaning. At the very worst, they may find it slightly uncomfortable.
1) John: Did you see that rich kid going to the homeless shelter last night?
Dave: Yeah, turns out he was doing a ridiculous amount of humaning.

2) "That idiot spent about an hour trying to troll me, but he was really just humaning. I almost cried from laughing so hard."

Humanising Data 

The premise that charts, tables and graphs are inhumane and the proposition that visualisation systems immerse you in the data in such a way that you can process charts, tables and graphs subconsciously.
Marketing Manager walking to a WIP (work-in-progress) meeting "Oh no, not another meeting pouring over slabs of paper filled with Excel tables and pie charts". Data scientist walking alongside: "Don't worry, we've moved all the reporting into a Humanising Data visualisation system, I think you'll find it very easy to find the data points you're looking for. Manager as they both walk in the meeting room door, looking at the three newly installed large format touch-screens: "Oooh, this is nice".

Humaning 

A word that an alien would most likely come up with to describe or explain the actions of a human crewmate.
Alien 1: What is Human Kate doing? She has been screaming at her personal data device for over an hour!
Alien 2: Just ignore her when she's humaning.
