How about the word "game" used as a verb? Game is not a verb, it's a noun.

You sure about that?

verb
- 1with object Manipulate (a situation), typically in a way that is unfair or unscrupulous.
  
  ‘it was very easy for a few big companies to game the system’
  
  ‘politicians blamed electricity generators for gaming the market’
2no object Play video games.

‘the majority of the audience are teens who game and watch anime’
3no object Play gambling games.

‘other Russians gamed at the tables in Monte Carlo’
