That should be an ‘n.’, not a ‘v.’.
No, the process of removing weeds is a verb.
I went back and forth a couple of times when I was creating the image, but I settled on calling it a verb. It could be either way depending on whether you’re describing the word or Homer’s misapplied definition.
Nah, sorry brah, it’s “a process.”
Both ‘wedding’ and ‘weeding’ are nouns (in that context). They are gerunds. ‘Process’ is also a noun.
It’s a noun. You can even consult a real dictionary and check.
When I go to a wedding where the couple is old enough to have watched the Simpsons as they really were, and they have a guest book or a big picture to sign or whatever, this is my go-to quote. Still funny after so many years.
Hell, I’m almost tempted to become a minister just so I can say this.
