A somewhat more subtle example of what my friend refers to as "vouns" (ie. nouns used as verbs) - regularly "gifted" to the English speaking peoples of the world by the Americans.
Although exit is of course a verb, it's use in this sentence is pretty confusing given the fact that they're undoubtedly referering to "an exit".
