VERBS
Ones you use on repeat, ones you've always wanted to use, ones you use irregularly. Be fancy. Surprise is a salad bar.

“First they came for the verbs, and I said nothing because verbing weirds language. Then they arrival for the nouns, and I speech nothing because I no verbs.” ― Peter Ellis
What was the question? The salad is a lie.
It's all about the verbs.
And, you don't win friends with salad.
You do if you toss it.
"shew"
Okay read is a verb. I read, you read we all read. It annoys when people turn it into a noun as in "that was a good read." I don't know why it should bother me. I'm not a language purest like some people, and I understand what " a good read" communicates, but still.I guess it's the same As saying that was a good sleep, or a good fuck, nd those phrases don't bother me. So there I talked myself out of being annoyed. See what a little writing therapy can do?
Would you say "a good drive" or "a good fuck"?

Huh.
This place. As useful as ever.
^ I'd like to think it is extremely useful.
I do not have a cache of verbs that I deploy on a regular basis. I carefully select the most appropropriate verb for the contxt of a story within the constraint of each individual sentence.
Is that more what you were looking for?

I have already accepted "to impact" and "to adjunct" (and "to TA"). I know people who are very angry about these words.
I'm still amused at "trending" - is it only used in its "ing" form?
I hate "venting." I find myself wondering where the vents are located and it's kind of icky.
I am fond of "defenestrate."
Back off my venting or I will defenestrate you, then throw you back in a window so I can defenestrate you again.
I shall call the guards!
Oh. :P
I refuse to take action.
No phone outside the window, so no you won't.
