the development of language

While waiting for my food in the cafeteria today, I heard the following snippet of conversation between two women who were apparently discussing one woman's scoundrel of an ex-boyfriend.

"Yes," the first woman said dramatically, "he did a Clinton on me!"

The second woman, visibly horrified, gasped, "He Clintoned you?"

The first woman nodded solemnly, and they both moved off to pay for their food.

I had no idea our former president had been turned into a verb.
