Well, you know, for Twitter there is Tweeting, and some people just refer to using Facebook as Facebooking.
But what about us Jellies? Do we have an official one? I mean, this site blows every other social site outta the water, in my opinion, and I think we need an equally epic verb to go along with it.
What say you?

Fluthering is used pretty commonly, I think.
My husband even uses the word Fluthering. (As in, “Don’t bother your mommy right now, she’s Fluthering.) That’s bad, isn’t it…really bad.
It’s actually Flunkering if you are fluthering drunk.
@chyna That was the first time I’ve lol’d in a long time at something on the internet!
Is there one for Fluthering while stoned?
@augustlan I’m so happy someone else hears that in their household.
@chyna I’ve never Flunkered before. I’ve witnessed Flunkering, I’d probably fall asleep trying.
I’d like to take credit for making that word up because I really love it, but I didn’t. I’ve seen it on here before. Probably by a flunkerer.
wouldn’t “fluthering” technically be a gerund, which is a noun? Though I still get the concept of the verb “to fluther”...I’m in the mood for nitpicking
I call it Fluthing. I was in a band called Fluther before I found this site, and we called practice Fluthing. I’d prefer it if that’s what we called it in homage to the original Fluther.
Somebody—one of Zen’s incarnations, perhaps?—coined a whole string of verbs for fluthering in various conditions, comparable to drunken fluthering.
In my lexicon, to fluther is the basic verb.
I may have coined flunking – fluthering while drunk. I may have been at the time.
We’ve compiled a few lexicons over time. Links, anyone?
Ssshhhh, I’m fluthering right now.
@erichw1504 Honey, for you, everything is a euphemism for something… :P
If it’s called Fluther, why don’t we ever see it Fluth….
Fluthered (Irish slang for extremely drunk) hehe
Looked, but couldn’t find them, @seazen_. I thought there was a question a while back that explicitly called for invention of terms.
@Jeruba There were a few – but it might be harder to dig up old stuff since the changes.
Personally, I’ve always been quite partial to the phrase, “tapping the collective.” A single verb has a very simple connotation for me, whereas the short phrase exudes a little more class.
@Joker94 If not, there should be. But how do you mix a good stoner adjective with a “to fluther” verb?
