"party" as a verb
Hi.
There's a scene in some TV show that I don't quite understand. I wonder if you could help me.
There's someone who tells his friend:
"Let's party..."
his friend doesn't let him finish the sentence and shouts at him:
"Don't you dare use the word "party" as a verb in this shop!" and all the crowd laugh.
what is so funny about that?
Thanks.
