My mother, born in Mobile, Alabama, used that word when I was growing up 
in Dallas, Texas. As that brand of sweeper became less popular, the verb 
faded from my consciousness. Using one type of word like another is 
characteristic of English, ex., to knife someone, all liquored up, etc., 
which is to say that English doesn't have fixed parts of speech like Latin.
