You know who else did that? William Shakespeare. He had this briliant trick of "verbing" a noun that made his prose so rich and surprising.

Let me introduce the Assess family: There's Mr. Assess, Mrs. Assess, young Master Assess, and of course, their lovely daughter Miss Assess. They are much nicer than the Bates family>>

Using nouns as verbs is overdone. I can nearly juggle one orange.

Actually, many have dubbed Mr Bill overrated:  Voltaire, Shaw and Borges come to mind.
