Things the english language is missing

More verbs should be strong verbs. Accordingly, Dr Virago has hijacked the paradigm of the verb 'to wing':

...I'd like to declare that "to wing" is now a strong verb. Thus: I am winging it in class today, yesterday I wang it, and by tomorrow I will have wung it.

Just because.

Yes, please.

yeah, and down here we recognise the Yank meaning of 'wang' and don't go spouting it every which way unless it's someone's name. which is more sensitivity than SOME people show when saying 'fanny'. not that I have a problem with vaginas, but you try explaining to your Belgian mother that in the US the part in the nanny where she's 'out on her fanny' doesn't mean prostitution. :) XX, pix.
