Favorite King Verbs?

[Christine62]

I am amazed at the different ways that Mr. King manipulates the language turning nouns into verbs or putting verbs in places that totally blows you away and your realize he is a Master. In Lisey's Story he wrote "he stuttered down the steps" In Cell he wrote "she bulldogged it back down"

What's your favorite King verb?

In Under the Dome, the Corgi was "hoovering" the popcorn off of the floor.

I don't think its a verb, but King used to like using the word 'Eave'. He was writing at the table under the eave.

"munched" it seems someone is always munching their food rather than eating it

In Lisey's Story, I enjoy how King, through Scott, describes his old man getting up off the couch and doing a kind of crazy-scissors walk over to the door. Looked for the actual word the other night...thought maybe it was "scissor-walked"...though that is not there, or if it is, I didn't see it.

It's not a King book if he doesn't use the verb "trundled" at least once.
