Hi

Is the use of guilt natural as a verb?

(The speaker did something stupid that particular night.)

Hey, are you trying to guilt me bringing up that night again?

Thanks,

Tom

The OED calls it "chiefly U.S." and "colloquial", and I think they are being kind. It's pretty new, and if you are over 30 or you aren't comfortable calling people "bro", stay away from it.
