Subject: Re: "911" as a verb?



"They called roll, Irit wasn't there, they went looking for her,

couldn't find her, 911'd Westside Division, who sent a couple of

units. . . ."



I haven't seen this usage before. Has it been around for a while?

I never heard it before. But I've heard of 86'd. And I've heard someone say

"I'll 86 you from the bar", so 86 is a transitive as well as an intransitive

verb, why not 911 too?
