[...] makes me wonder to which degree this is just strossing. Before you say that games, generally speaking, aren’t good enough – what have you [...]

I am quite content with strossing everything containing Clive Owen and that awful Australian in Gladiator. What’s his name again. Ah well, must have strossed it.

This verb could be transitive as well as intransitive. With definition 1. you could say something like “he strossed Babylon 5″ or “he strosses new films with wanton abandon.” This would be somewhat more elegant than using the “strosses about +” construction over and over.

True. I shall revise it tomorrow.

I am definitely using this word.
I will look for every opportunity in every story or essay I write, and every sentence I speak, and fucking use it. And nobody will know what it means, because it’s not in any dictionary! I am so malevolent!
Everybody will become so confused, they will run around in circles until they are exhausted! Once everybody is too weak to fight back, I will take over the world! *evil laugh*

This is a work of art! I’d stick it to the face of every critic in the world (and actually to everyone’s face; we are endlessly making judgements about things). I should frame it and hang it on the wall.

Anyway, “used without object” = intransitive, right?

Jonas, this is both hilarious and wonderful. I’m starting to use them today!

Ah, I see. Okey-doke, then.

What about my hatred of Romanian techno? I’ve heard all of one song, and I think we all know it: the Numa Numa song. I hate the genre because I’ve been forced to listen to it by my sister, with my mother’s consent, more times than one particular item or sentence in a single lecture from my mother.

Wonder what “strossing” is in swedish, “strossar” perhaps? Nevertheless, it surely will be useful!

Sounds like a good story, looks like good action, but I still don’t want to watch it.

Ah, but all you’re saying is that it doesn’t quite manage to hold your attention. That’s not the same as now proclaiming “all the Bourne movies are shit” or “I hate all action movies.”
