526: Chocolate (Verb) May 17, 2016

What makes a word standard is nothing more than recognition from respectable institutions. In the Oxford English Dictionary there is a record of 'chocolate' as a verb. The word is rarely used at best with only a single recorded quotation catalogue in the OED. It means ‘to drink chocolate’ and the quotation is from an 1850 work called Eldorado which reads ‘We arose in the moonlight, chocolated in the comedor, or dining-hall.’ Even though it is found but once, it is still counted as acceptable.
