It truly is a "Jeep thing" that few besides another Jeep enthusiast would understand... but I would never actually say or display that phrase on my Jeep as some do. :) But in many ways, Jeeping is no different than any other hobby that you can spend a lot of money doing.

Best thing I saw displayed on a Jeep was a bumper sticker with upside down writing that said "If you can read this, please flip me over." Matt |

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
You can ford a river, dodge incoming, and triumph over an enemy. Actually,
jeeping doesn't seem like a verb to me. Isn't the verb in "Let's go jeeping" go?

The question was how many brands are also a verb, with no reference to a particular context. Consider: fording a river, dodging the bullet. Rover is a noun. Triumph is a good one, too, but I can't think of any others right now... |
