- I netflicked this one film and I’m waiting for it to arrive.
netflick
verb; zero derivation
to order a film using Netflix. The word is formed by seperating the “x” in “Netflix” into a “k” and an “s” sound, assuming the “s” sound to mean plural, and then subtracting the “s” sound. Then it is semantically shifted to a verb. I perhaps was used to get a laugh and because it is easier than saying “order a film on Netflix”.
Etymology : netflick. Zero derivation of 'Netflix' (a service used to order movies)
