And, for the transcript: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pap ... "gove" appear'd ("appeared") to be a noun though. Remember, please don't noun verbs. In case you're ("you are") wondering, "noun verbs" is a colloquial English phrase meaning "use what is usually a noun as if it were a verb". In fact, the word "noun" in the phrase "It's bad to noun verbs!" is a nouned verb.

I would have said "don't verb your nouns" - where "verbing a noun" is using a noun as a verb. "Noun verbs" would make more sense to mean "use a verb as if it were a noun". But maybe I'm too used to a particular noun/verb order :)
I'll go Wiktionary it! Or better yet, Google it!
