 Poster: A snowHead

I've discovered a new irregular verb relating to ski=ing:
He crashed,
Mrs H fell over,
I lost a ski...
Anyone know of any others?

Crash goes from being passive to active.
Someone crashed into me whilst I was skiing along minding my own business.
You ought to slow down or you might crash.
Ha, ha, that idiot was skiing like a lunatic and crashed into a tree.
Notice that whenever the first person in used, the verb to crash becomes passive.

Wear The Fox Hat If indeed your ski edge was caught by the snow/ice, then I find it hard to take litterally such a claim that you indeed "caught" an "edge"  Or do you mean " 'edge" as in a fast-moving hedge(hog?) from oop norf wot don't pronounce it's aitches?

Would "crashed" normally be classed as an irregular verb? I think not:
I crash sometimes
I crashed last week
"Honey, I'm terribly sorry, I've just crashed the car"
"Darling, I'm really sorry. What can I say? I've just crashed the ski"

Can Pistenbully be a verb?
Is it irregular to have bullied a piste?

You are ski-ing, he is ski=ing, they are ski'ing; the spelling policeman is skiing
You ski-ed, he ski=ed, they ski'ed; the spelling policeman skied
You've got ski-s, he's got ski=s, they've got ski's; the spelling policeman has skis

You know it makes sense.

To give it the full flavour your new hyper-irregular verb should be declined in the normal order:
I lost a ski
You (originally thou) caught (caughtest) an edge
He, she crashed
We hit unskiable snow,
You got caught out
They need lessons

chrisb, I got a B (only just ) at Eng Lang O level. Of all the above posts, yours is the only one that I remotely understand. Perhaps this thread shouls be re-named "foreign language"

Frosty the Snowman, there isn't much to understand: just a small joke on human vanity, pretending to be the declension of a verb (for example the present tense of the verb "to be" would normally be set out:-
(Singular:) I AM, you ARE (historically thou ART), he / she / it IS.
(Plural:) we ARE, you ARE, they ARE.
Or for example in French (where there is more point in doing it:)
Je SUIS, tu ES, il /elle EST,
nous SOMMES, vous ETES, ils/ elles SONT.

no just to explain what we were being thrown from/falling off. Certainly he too fell off. We were thrown, but you and they sadly fell off.

Explains why I can't make out much from here: I obviously fell into Error.
"Everyone sees the world through his own speciality. To the grammarian the problems of the world boil down to questions of grammar" (Can't remember who wrote that: possibly La Rochefoucauld)
(No real reason for quoting that. I just like it.)

My new favourite is 'Hooning' as 'flying' (!) e.g. I hooned down that piste.

The original idea, I believe, was from Yes (Prime) Minister. Bernard mentions an irregular adjective:
I'm different,
you're eccentric,
he's round the twist.

I ski with controlled aggression,
YOU are a speed demon,
HE is a bloody maniac.

NickW, But does "hooning" not have connotations of loss of control? More or less as johno, says.
