I'm new and I like the best prog bands!

It killed my dog.

I'm sure that you can say furniture can be aged , as in deliberately made to look older - I will check with th Antiques Roadshow.  But, I agree (as I said) that any word can be used as a verb especially if it takes off and others start to use it.  I just think (as you proved) relic'd reliced relicked relict is just a bit clumsy when written.

 

 

I don't think aged is the right word in this instance anyway - aging is somthing that happens naturally, like cheese or whisky. Relic'd is faux-aging so antiqued or distressed would be more apt.

 

However, as Jean says one of the glories of the English language is anything can be turned into a verb, (and any adjective can be come a noun, etc.) also it's a living, dynamic language that must be allowed to grow and change.

 words ending in "c" are always a giggle in English - the convention is to add a "k" after the "c", for example panic becomes panicked, mimic becomes mimicked. Unfortunately that would still fail for relic as it would be come relicked. When you mic up a piano, the past tense convention of adding a "k" would have given micked, and the present participle would be micking, both of which would be pronounced "mick" not "mike", so the "c" is dropped to leave miked and miking. But would also fail for relic which would be reliked or reliking. Using the unconventional apostrophised contraction of relic'd would preserve the pronounciation of the root word.

Relicing is the process of damaging the paint and surface of perfectly good guitars and basses to make them look 'vintage'. Here's an example. If you couldn't find that, you're Google skills are in line with your PA-age
