- I am fooding myself.
fooding
verb; blending
eating or feeding In this case, "fooding" appears to have been used as a replacement for "feeding," which seems to be a case of blending. Instead of saying that he was feeding himself, the source of this word said he was fooding himself. This seems to be an attempt to specify exactly how he was feeding himself, i.e. with food. Although it seems logical that food is the normal means of feeding oneself, perhaps the source just wanted to be extra clear. There is another possibility with this word, however. If the object "myself" had not been used after the word, "fooding" could be construed to mean "eating." In this case, the word would have been formed by adding a verb suffix to a noun - similar to the formation of LPAPing.
