Winners, consolation prizes, finalists, LOL worthy entrants will be posted early Friday afternoon so stay tuned!
I started with:
- I TBS’d It – watching the second half of a movie on TBS and then watching the first half when they replay it immediately after.
- Just Google It – searching for any information online.
- Mapquest it First – Number of people using Mapquest: approx 7. Number of people saying Mapquest when they are really using Google Maps: approx 7 million.
- I watched it on TIVO – Did you really? Or are you watching it on your DVR? That’s what I thought.
And these have been rolling in. Listed in by post time, not order of winning potential.
FedEx it. As in, "I forgot about sending this package so I FedEx-ed it last minute."

"I'm BRing til 4." Meaning I'm working at Banana Republic until 4pm.

iTunes it. As in, I'm going to go and iTunes Season 2 of Burn Notice."
Facebook me- AKA sit in front of your computer for hours and look at my pics dating back to frosh year.
MySpace me- Same as facebook but creepier. And you have to be either 13 or 43, (preferably male).

Jetsking. As in, "Let's go Jetskiing, but, oh wait, you own a POS Yamaha."
"Xerox," though I haven't heard anyone use it for a while
In the UK, "Hoover" sometimes stands in for "vacuum"
"Dumpster-diving" technically fits the bill, even if 'dumpster' has become pretty generic

I always like to mention that an action someone makes is their verb. Like "Hey you're biking, it's your verb." Okay that was a terrible example, but you know what I mean. Verb it's what you do.
Another brand action I like to say is "It's like I am at McDonald's because I am lovin it."
I also like mentioning brands in sentences. Example "I am so lost, like that show, Lost." Or "I'm so hungry, like that game, Hungry Hungry Hippos." I also like to throw people off guard by saying things like "I'm so lost, like that show, The Price is Right."
I am thinking of more brand actions that I use, I will get back with more when I think of them.
"E-bay it" as in, "I'm going to E-Bay my old beanie babies for a penny apiece"
Febreeze as in "The rotten sangria fruit after our party made me have to febreeze the whole downstairs"
At home in Sconnie we would make a "T-Bell run" anytime anyone from a party was going out to get fast food, no matter if it was Taco Bell or not. It was nicer than saying drunk food run.
And this isn't a brandverb, but I would like to mention that being a regular Starbucks fiend, I get very dirty looks when I forget I'm in another coffee shop and ask for a "Tall, Grande, or Venti" cup of coffee. Just shows how far that has spread....
Wikipedia it: As in, "I have no idea what a Hoatzin is, I'll Wikipedia it."
"AOL" it. As in: "I had this awesome product, but I AOL-ed it and now it's tanking."
HAHAHA, I love Jacey's last one.
"Swim Creative"ing... and I think you all understand the definition of that one.
