Sounds like a verb to me. And if the rest of those can 't be used, they can still amend the dictionary due to popular usage.

The discussion reminds me of a brief bout of bordem I experienced. I started looking up words in the dictionary that I saw on television especially on Transformers. I discovered that almost all the names had alluded to something else. Aparently sparkplug is a verb. This is just disturbing. I found this on wikipedia's website.

Since the beginning of time, people have enjoyed playful activity, especially while splashing around in lakes, oceans, and rivers. With the invention of aquaducts, by the Romans, water fountains began to appear in the city core. Whether intended for drinking, or just for architectural aesthetics, such fountains also became places to frolic in.
