[edit]- Sportswriters pun between waver (“vacillate”) and waiver (“relinquishment or abandonment or rights”).
- In bureaucratic parlance, there seems to be some usage of waiver as a verb, meaning to sign a waiver document, thereby placing oneself or one's organization in some condition of eligibility for something.
- Neither usage would be considered standard and neither is common. DCDuring TALK 20:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
