I've been seeing this particular abomination a lot lately on real estate listings. Similar to the pathetic ignorance and backformation that brought us ice coffee and ice tea. It's regular glass that has been STAINED, realtors! How does that not compute?!?! It's not some wacky new thing, it's been around for f-in' centuries!

Ok it seems I always misuse backformation - is there no equivalent for this (awful, awful) trend of changing verbs into adjectives?? (*sucks at grammar, not entirely sure that's what she means to say*)
