Verbing nouns

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve heard further evolution of our language. We all like buzz words in our verticals and often tailor words to be cool and unique so that we and our work seem cool and unique. I’m talking about morphing nouns into verbs. Or is it pure laziness? Or a time-saving mechanism in our constantly full on lives? Using the following nouns correctly in sentences would require speaking more words.

These are the phrases I’ve heard recently (obviously there are heaps more examples), and what I took their meanings to be.

• We should sandbox it – play around with a few ideas and see if we can make something
  
• I’ll lightbox it – take a closer look, see what hidden details I can find
  
• Google it – search for it using Google
  
• Our on-boarding strategy – plan for getting people up to speed
  
• I’ll forum it – post a question to a forum
