I’ve been poeming about how my nouns keep conversioning to verbs.
Verb Your Enthusiasm     I recall the first time it circumstanced,   this problem that routines with my words – I was in the kitchen, plating my food,   when my nouns conversioned to verbs.      Friending others with similar troubles, we workshopped hard at it for days,  as we dialogued in search of solutions,    and flipcharted the hours away.     I can’t stop myself languaging weirdly.  Are they called nerbs or vouns? I’m not sure.   The doctors cannot antidote me,  while to poem provisions no cure.     Now I diarise each time they’re eventing – whenever I coffee or Youtube or gift.  I’d podium, too – if I ever won anything, and it weren’t for those medalling kids.

It's in the Macquarie Dictionary, so they must think it's widespread Aussie usage.

!!! I thought it was a common expression everywhere!

Melburnians, what did the teacher used to say to your class if you were let off early?

I have just been told that people from Melbourne are not familiar with the term 'early mark'. Two people have backed this. Am I insane, or is 'early mark' universal
