Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

So incredibly not a football junkie, I have no idea what "audiblise" means

"Calling an audible" is what the quarterback does if he looks at the other team's defense and realises that the play he's got scripted is going to get him trampled. He calls another play, a new one, loud enough for his players to hear. "The quarterback calls an audible."

Nowadays? "The quarterback audiblises." So very very wrong.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Um, why not just use "audible" as the verb?

Well, considering that "audible" isn't a verb either? I hate both options.

Whether he "audibles" (not a word or a concept) or "audiblises" (grotesque in its not-a-wordness), it's just wrong.

He calls an audible. I can, in context, allow "audible" as a highly specialised noun. It is not, under any conditions my mind can imagine, acceptable as a verb.

Not as much as you need to horizonalise your broads.
