Well, I positively love it but then, what were the odds? As I said before, I'm honored!!!

It would probably be egotistical of me to overuse it [20-30 times a day] before we see if it catches on, but, as the coiner, feel free to cram it down people's throats Texas Joe!!!

...you know, this vaguely reminds me of the old story of why many old-time (mid to late 1980's) posters on the USENET newsgroups sometimes call them "newsfroups"... except it's horribly obscene, and wouldn't belong here...

I want a moosetik on your moosetik!

You wrote: Function: verb

Isn't it also a noun?
as in "send in those moosetiks!"
verb:
"I'm going to moosetik something"
and maybe adjective, too?
"moosetik credits go to..."

It's just a nice, all-functional word.
