There was a blog post recently on naming your startup where I think the author had a good point on looking for names that can be "verbed": don't worry, people will find a way.

In this case, they've made their verb obvious: Duck It. Pretty easy, no?

When someone says "Just Duck It", though, I always think they got their consonants wrong and want me to give up.

"Bing" has similar issues - is the past tense "bang"? "I bang her on the Internet"?

Pretty sure the past tense is "bung."

Not that this is much of an improvement.
