In an email from an American lawyer which not surprisingly flummoxed my Indonesian colleague:

I think this is a term of art meaning 'convey the information by Fedex'.

So we are now verbing Latin phrases! Pray tell, what is the past tense? Exed post facto? Ex posted facto? Ex post factoed? exed posted factoed?

Ex post factoed?

Works for me.

On "The Practice", the lawyers used "Plan B" as a verb - Tell me you're not going to Plan B them.

life is a verb.

and then you parse on.

Often tensely.

We all have our little problems.

But those are past tense.

Yeah, they're all the way to rigid.
