Click the image above for the full gallery.
Tae and I were talking about the word telekinesis. I don't think there is an existing verb form for it, at least not one that I could easily find.
/ˌteləkəˈnēsəs/
noun
the supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means.
"she possesses the power of telekinesis"
We kicked around a few options in the past tense, so if anyone out there is ever looking to verb that noun, maybe try some of these:
- Telekinetted
- Telekinested
- Telekiknuckled
- Telekinated
- Telekinesisted
- Telekinesis-suru
"Telekiyeeted."
— Tae
