Normally I'm not a fan of converting a noun to serve as a verb. However, I will make an exception for this one: porching. "The action of sitting down for a friendly visit with somebody on your or their porch"; e.g., when asked what I am/was doing, I answer, "I am/was porching with so-and-so." This one I like. It's also useful.

I first porched Aqua’s sister almost 15 years ago. |

HOLY CARP!!!

I never had a problem with verbed nouns. I think it's just a natural consequence of meanings becoming more obvious and immediate. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

Verbed nouns hurt. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

The act of taking unwanted, outdated, or stolen merchandise to the highest floor of a house or apartment and throwing said merchandise over the balcony or out the window. This usually takes place after copious amounts of drinking or from excessive boredom. Typical items to be porched are old bicycles, Betamax VCRs, fried computer monitors, etc. On a rare occasion a stolen Honda scooter might be porched. It is preferred that a crowd be gathered at the base of the dwelling to spread the enjoyment amongst as many as possible. From urban dictionary |
