One cannot turn a page of the sports section of the newspaper without
seeing another mention of "Velvet antler spray", yet almost no one not
using it would have heard of it on Jan 1.

Also, UD has the following:

Rambo'd 2 up, 9 down
When you have a large machine gun in a First Person Shooter video game, and
you hear an enemies footsteps, so you run around the corner and shoot left
to right in a chainsaw fashion and yell/type RAMBO'D!!!!

Some slang dictionaries also have "to go rambo on"
