An editorial in today's NYT examples the dangers of what I like to call Verbing the Noun: The Democratic candidates have begun lip-servicing the corn-based gasoline additive ethanol in anticipation of their caucus in the corn-based state of Iowa.
"Lip-servicing" has such a tawdry ring to it that is somehow missing from lip service. When I go to a customer service desk, I expect to be asked if I am being served, not if I am being serviced.
"I think you'd be able to tell if I was being serviced. There's this face I make...".
Me, I don't want to lip-service anything corn-based, unless it's corn. And I'd probably tooth-service it to some extent as well.
