only one I don't see is "rover"

"ford" = cross a stream at a shallow spot
"dodge" = get the hell out of the way
"triumph" = well, that's obvious

Yes, dodging bullets, fording streams, triumphing over Saddam, roving around
England are all verbs. But none of them are nearly the same as Jeeping in
the woods.

You guys must be liberals, everything has to be explained.

You've never done any *fording* with your Jeep?
You MUST be a newbie.

Rover is a noun (rove would be a verb). Triumph is also a noun. Jeep is not
a verb either.

Hey, here comes a bullet. You'd better dodge it.

Hey, there's a stream. Let's ford it.

Perhaps you might want to complain to the folks that sold you that bargain
G.E.D. curriculum, Lloyd, they've let you get by without even basic
knowledge of grammar. Triumph is clearly a verb.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Triumph%20
Triumph

\Tri"umph\, v. t. To obtain a victory over; to prevail over; to conquer.
Also, to cause to triumph. [Obs.]



Let's see, according to my count this is 'Duh!' number two for the day.
Care to have a go at number three?

Uhm...Geoff? No. It's both a noun and an intransitive verb. You might want
to complain to the folks *who* (not "...the folks THAT...) put together
that bargain dictionary website you used. From the Mirriam-Webster site at
www.webster.com:

2 entries found for triumph.

Triumph [1] noun
Triumph [2] intransitive verb

Didn't you know Moses drove British cars? He descended the mountain in his
triumph...?
