You know you are getting older when you find new langauge inventions (such as 'verbing') very distracting. As a linguist, I try to be descriptive instead of prescriptive in my attitude about other people's language use but I admit that the use of podium ("I'm just so happy to podium in this race" when finishing in the top 3) as a verb during the Olympic coverage very distracting -- it catches my attention every time.
