Actor's Name Becomes a Verb

The man, the actor, Will Smith, turned himself into a verb with one stinging "heard-around-the-world" slap across Chris Rock's face at the Oscar ceremony. Whether he likes it or not, he's now a guaranteed verb, at least in the eyes of household-name rappers. Some were Oscar attendees Some were viewers. Many watching from home Quickly grabbed paper and pen; They live for such moments. I can see the rap lyrics now... "Black on black, like Smith against Rock" "Word to mutha, I'mma Will Smith the competition!" "I done Smithed them wack MCs" Oh, it's coming, believe me. But from whom? Who will be first? Drake? Wiz Khalifa? Eminem? Perhaps Cardi B? Hey, you never know! Stay tuned.... Assuming you're into hip Hop. Date written: 04/08/2022
