[Ads-l] doge as verb

[Nancy Friedman]

David Gardner proposed "doge" (verb) in a March 25 opinion piece for the
Daily Beast:

Read without registering:

(Gardner is a little shaky on parts of speech: he defines DOGE [noun] as
"entitled, nosy, arrogant.")

And here's "We will DOGE ourselves" in a May 1 NBC News headline:

Definitely a WOTY candidate!
