[Ads-l] to ninja-slip

[Benjamin Barrett]

Following up on my post on ninja-slipping yesterday, here are some examples of ninja-verbs with my guesses as to the meaning of the ninja portion. Most have to do with stealth. 

None of these verbs have many hits on Google, but clearly this is a productive morpheme.
