Ah, to be a verb in the vernacular

Does anything smell as sweet to the marketers of a company or product name? Like Fed Ex, Xerox and Kleenex before it, Google has become a verb.

In honor of the web search company’s fifth birthday this week, the BBC has published an article which celebrates all things Google. This bit caught our eye:

“Now Google is a noun, adjective and verb. For instance “to Google” is to use the search engine to check someone out before you meet them.”

The described “triple crown” of usage is quite impressive, but Google as an adjective? If you can figure that one out, comment with some “Google as an adjective” examples.

Now, “Spam,” that’s a different story… best to save it for later so as not to ruin this google day.
