verbalize

The act of making a noun a verb by simply stating it (the noun) in a sentence as if it was a verb. For example "Im going to google that!" instead of saying "I am going to perform a search on google.com"

Mom: "go lawnmower the backyard Roger !"

Son: "Mom, don't verbalize!! The appropriate expression is 'Go mow the lawn', and no I'm too busy smoking pot."
