Google Your Own Dog Food.

I always find it somewhat amusing when we convert a noun into a verb. For instance, Google is a website that allows you to perform searches for web pages. However, Google can also be used as a verb, which means to use the Google Website. For instance, “So, you are stuck with that problem? Have you Googled it Yet?”

Or, how about Dog Food.

A source of nutrition for our four legged canine friends. But, while researching NHibernate, I realize that this can also be a verb, as in, “They are dog fooding their own code.” I believe that this implies they are eating their own dog food (i.e. using their own product).

Any other examples out there?
