[Ads-l] Verb or typo?

[Barretts Mail]

Wondering whether there were other verbs like sutabaru (to Starbucks, probably out of fashion now), I recently asked an acquaintance about nonce verbs in Japanese, and he asked around and said Japanese people regularly create them by adding the -ru verb suffix to a noun.

As to “to grocery”, it seems the word has some currency. 

1. to go grocery shopping

I may old the dishwasher, but that's a big maybe. I groceried today. That's more than enough.

I was met at the airport with hugs, wined and dined, groceried, (my spell check tells me there is no such word, but you know what I mean) and plunked, along with my bags, safely into my warmed-up house.

Well, I had the best of intentions.  I was all groceried up and ready to tell you all about a certain pepperoni sauce heard ’round the world, but then Sunday happened.

I fumble through my purse until I find a card that works, and end up slinking out of the store, humbled, ashamed, but groceried, nonetheless.

There's a streak of brutal weather coming through so we've groceried up.

As the Iowa-based supermarket chain prepares to expand into the Twin Cities, some local market watchers wonder if the metro area is on its way to being “over-groceried.”

North Oakland where I live is "over groceried" to make up a new word. I literally have 10 actual grocery stores in my 3 mile radius in the city of Oakland.

If your answer is yes, then you my friend, have been groceried.
