A verbed noun

[Benjamin Barrett]

Although it tends to be written rather than spoken, I've heard HOV spoken in
conversation more than once in Seattle. Of course, it's not accurate because
it includes single rider motorcycles.

"HOV" is the east coast term for what is called "carpool" on the left coast.
