    See now I agree, but my beloved's argument is that Google is a concrete noun. So it'd be more like Xerox to Xerox-ing.

    You're right. When you say you're 'googling' something, you're using it as a transitive verb.

    I find the problem with callipygian is that, if correctly pronounced, it sounds rather more porcine that is appropriate to a compliment.
