Did you know that the OED lists “blackberrying”
as a verbal noun?
Did you know that it dates from 1861?
Yes, dear reader, if your first thought was “the act of checking email on a BlackBerry,” then you, too, are a hopeless geek.
If you’re so hopeless you haven’t even figured it out even now, well, the definition is simply “The gathering of blackberries.” (The food. Remember? It’s a type of berry?)
