If summer and winter can be verbs, why not spring and autumn? Seems totally unfair to discriminate against spring and autumn just because they are solstice challenged.

1. It gets even more confusing if you use the word 'fall' instead of autumn.

2. It's ok to say "Where do you summer"?
I guess so, if you are a Kennedy or Bush.

Most people I know just summer in their sweltering apartments.

:rofl:

4. Because the answer was too often "under my zipper."
So "Where do you spring?" was repealed.
