Verb

Is mace as a verb US? (The term comes from a brand name but I don't know how widely it is marketed.) RJFJR 16:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is common in the U.S., meaning to spray someone with mace. —Stephen 17:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

But is it used elsewhere? I'm trying to decide if it needs to be tagged as US only. RJFJR 03:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Are the weapon and the spice from the same etymological root? --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
