I just read a story in the newspaper about some people fleeing arrest who "T-boned" another automobile. I'd seen it before, but it got me to wondering if it's in common use. Also, how about in other parts of world where the main language is English? If I say, We T-boned them but no one was hurt" would you know what I meant?
Also, any other words out there that are nouns or adjectives that have been verbed with a pretty much entirely different meaning from the original word?
