Hi All..
Lets consider the following statements:
1. Will you have lunch with me?
2. Will you lunch with me?
In my opinion, version 2 is incorrect/slang. What are your views?
Thanks in advance.

Of course i understand that the subject may be misleading since in version 1, "lunch" is not a verb i guess.

They both seem fine to me. The first usage case is not a verb. Lunch has been a verb at least since at least 1913 and possibly earlier.

Today, several co-workers and I lunched in the conference room, ate chili dogs and watched the original Star Wars "A New Hope".
I love Fridays. Have a great weekend everyone!

Must be nice to work where you work, "work" being the
imperative word.

I used to work for the Postal Service. I watched Star Wars on my lunch break practically every day!

When I worked at Sun Microsystems, we watched Office Space one elongated lunchtime, but it was okay because our manager showed it to use. (One of the PMs also brought a bottle of 12-year-old single malt Scotch to enliven the activity.) Alas, the next day it was back to work as usual.

As a teacher could never watch Star Wars at any time.
However the eighth graders frequently resembled the
bar scene on Tatooine.
