Can "Street View" be a verb? Like, " I totally just street-viewed myself man"


Living in Mountain View means that I am surrounded by Google. "The Big G," and it's fondly referred to here, is so ubiquitous that it's impossible to walk down the street without seeing someone in Google swag, or someone riding around on a sky blue Google bike (This certainly isn't a bad thing and I appreciate them for being a non-evil company, and sending the hubs home with a paycheck bi-weekly). And on certain special days, when gaseous Google-colored planets somewhere in the universe align, you may even see the Google Street View Car. It's just a normal car that drives around with a spherical multi-lens camera setup on top, but it has given the world the opportunity to pick up stalking as an acceptable online hobby. 

I myself have seen it quite a few times and the next time I do I totally want to do something approximating this!:



"Quick, it's coming!"
"Ahh, what can we do that would be awesome?!??"
"Let's get on top of the weird window-less mini-van-type vehicle we're driving and look nonchalant!"

But I would NOT do this - kind of un-funny. Kids these days!
