to instant hold; to emergency land

[Jonathan Lighter]

Current La Quinta commercial: "John can instant hold his room for tonight
with one finger and his phone num ber."

http://hannah-animal-tales.blogspot.com/2012/05/hamster-causes-plane-to-emergency-land.html:
"Hamster causes a plane to emergency land."

An emerging (or should I say "fully emerged"?) Inglish grammatical feature,
not just a bunch of nonce-words.
