greenlit

[LeMay, William]

I worked with a software engineer who always said "highlit" instead of
highlighted when describing use cases.  The other prevalent term in the
shop was "vertice" as the singular of vertices.

I am also happy to see that the Simpsons will be around a couple more
years to "embiggen" us with some more linguistic laughs.

Mmm ... renewal: Fox has greenlit two more seasons of animated
powerhouse "The Simpsons" and another year of its Sunday benchmate "King

of the Hill."

Variety-style verbing?
