Bullhorn as a Verb

[ronbutters at AOL.COM]

Just shows how wonderfully flexible the English languge is. And of course the creativity of the user is not to be underrated, either. Very nice!

I just wrote this sentence on a forum:

--
If "X" wants to bullhorn their interest in "OUR" community, then
maybe you might see one come and join in on the friviolity here
in the General Discussions.
--

And after re-reading it I thought using bullhorn like this was
very natural but I couldn't remember hearing it before.

A Google search reveals only a few hits on "bullhorn their".

Maybe this has been discussed here before and maybe it's not
very interesting. =0
