I'm beginning to use Bing more than Google now, so how do I say.....

I am a full convert to Bing-a-ling-a-doo-ski and I'd feel real fine telling my friends and family that I just "banged out some fascinating articles on local church organizations, would you like me to bang out a few blogs on the subject, it's not a problem, i mean the thing practically bangs itself once i start typing"

sure it's not directly translated, but how does one change between verbs, nouns and tenses when the base is the sound made when you hit a wine glass for a toast.......bad preplanning on BING's part

I'm not sure I know what you are saying.

However, using the same source as Corazon, we can see a bit of a correlation between what we are talking about here and what happened with the corporate name Xerox. Although clearly the name of a company it was soon used as a verb.

xeroxed - definition of xeroxed by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.


People began saying, "can you xerox this for me", or I xeroxed it, for example. Just as folks are now saying I googled it.

It's really a non-issue but I just thought today about using I Bingd it (using the suggestion by Gornot). If nothing more it will stir some interest and spice up whatever I am writing (or saying, for that matter).

Kari, according to what you written, how many syllables does Binged have?

OK. I'm going to go with it. Binged, I mean.

It looks a little incorrect to me because I think of ed as pronounced the same as the name Ed and not d. But in fact the pronounciation is bing'd. Right?

Kari, my gut feeling is that we should go with Bing'd. It's not grammatically incorrect.

I think Bing'd takes the guest work out of what is being said; people see the word Bing and that makes it easier for them to understand what the person is talking about.

What do you think?
