Verbing weirds language.
Have you noticed that it's no longer possible to buy spackle
at a hardware store? Spackle is now something you do, not
what you do it with. The material is now called spackling
compound. Next thing you know we'll be gasolining our
cars with gasolining fluid and fooding ourselves with
fooding substances.
