Far from the first Backgammon Verb

Iancho is not the first new backgammon verb.

Of course, we all know about being weavered in a money game. (Actually named after Tom Weaver, who would not double you when it is a pass, and wait until you have a take so he can gammon you.)

In Chicago many of us get Cartered (another term for taking to win the box and then getting backgammoned).

We also say you are being Romaned (put to sleep while someone counts the pips for the third time).

We used to say you got Meunched (instead of beavered)

There are many other verbs I will mention, but I will leave it to the reader to determine what they mean, as I do not want to be too insulting to people in writing:

I have been Sylvestered and I have been Kayed.

How many of you have been Weinered lately?

And my ass is still sore from being Fogerlunded.
