                              <P>I recently noticed how many body parts have made the leap from noun to verb. Here are a few things you can do with your body parts as verbs:</p> <P><IMG width="178" height="344" src="http://www.ironicsans.com/images/bodywords.gif" alt="Body%20Parts" class="rightnoborder" />Shoulder the burden.
Face the music.
Arm yourselves!
Foot the bill.
Stomach an awful movie.
Finger the suspect.
Elbow a pushy jerk on the subway.
Neck with your girlfriend.
Tongue her if she’ll let you.
Bone her once your parents go to sleep.
Mouth along with the music.
Head out of here.
Skin a cat.
Scalp the cat’s owner.
Back out on your commitment.
Eyeball the hot girl at the club.
Hand over your cash.
Knee a mugger in the nuts.
Thumb your nose at the President.
Heart New York.
Butt out.</p> <P class="entry-footer">
