Can DDR be used as a verb?

[mister_doublea]

Example: Anybody here DDR? (Does this work? I don't know if you can really call DDR a verb, but it is an action.)

[mister_doublea]

That's not the point; I just want to know if you CAN use it.

DDR is a game, and games are nouns.
So, no.

"DDR" is an abbreviation, and thus cannot be considered a word, much less a part of speech. Even if you tried to say "Dance Dance Revolutionizing" (needs the "iz" for proper construction), I believe that might be considered a gerund. (e.g., "Dance Dance Revolutionizing induces fatigue." The 3 words together are the subject (a gerund), "induces" is the verb, and "fatigue" is the direct object.) If you tried to say, "I am Dance Dance Revolutionizing," "Revolutionizing" becomes a present participle, but the sentence does not make sense. What are you revolutionizing? That sentence alone needs a direct object, such as "I am Dance Dance Revolutionizing the pad." That being said, why don't you just let it go, and let "DDR" remain an abbreviation for a noun, and keep nouns and verbs separate?

I think "DDR" can be used as a verb. I'm always telling my friends' "Hey, let's go DDR it up." That's a verbecular(yes i just made that word up) context, right? And why does the DDR announcer say "Let's DDR!" This is said as "Let us DDR"...whereas "let" and "DDR" are the two verbs in this phrase. Grammar.

[BeyondDark]

yes i know "grammar" in itself cannot be used as a complete sentence; therefore it is an oxymoron...or something...whatever

Ofcourse you can use it! Who's stopping you? Lets go DDR! I love to DDR! I like to DDR in my spare time. The possibilities are endless.

Is it considered correct? o_o probably not. But just cuz its not right doesn't mean you can't use it...

Rules are meant to be broken.

It sounds kind of stupid as a verb.

Well, you could use any noun as a verb; it's not like the grammar police are going to find you and kick your ass. However, it sounds really stupid. So, can you? Yes. Should you? No.

As I said in my previous post, you can't use it in accordance with actual rules of grammar. Obviously, you're free to use it as a slang term in everyday conversation--I would just make fun of you if I heard it said in such context.
