Calvin: I like to verb words.

Hobbes: What?

Calvin: I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when
"access" was a thing? Now, it's something you do. It got verbed. Verbing weirds
language.

Hobbes: Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to
understanding.

Nothing can compare to Calvin/Hobbes, nothing out there even
comes close.
