mrsmopp I think the examples you have given are now standard usage. For example, the verb to boat has been around since the early seventeenth century. I'm not so sure about "to medal" and "to gold", both of which were heard during the Olympic Games, and "to monster" which has cropped up in a couple of recent reports concerning press freedom. I also recall hearing a member of a band/group talk about "merching" and the "merch" – presumably referring to merchandise.
