Used "pachinko" as a verb the other day, but was sure this couldn't be novel. The context was a situation where I had the opportunity to meet some people by walking down from the top floor through two stories of a small office building to meet whoever was in their offices at the time. Of possible interest for anyone expanding this entry is 2007 a post on the Language Log blog entitled "Bagatelling around," which mentions the phrase "pachinkoing around" (though in my mind "pachinko" has a more vertical connotation than either bagatelle or pinball). There must be many examples.--A12n (talk) 00:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
