"A better way to holiday shop."

This, of course, caused me to go "A better way to what now?" because I'm sure I would say "shop for the holidays" or something like that.

Still, after I noticed that I largely forgot about it. I mean, it *is* a more efficient way to say the same thing, even if it sounds funny to me. I figured it was just an advertising thing, like a headline thing. But now here I am reading the comments here and there it is again, in the comments, from a real person: "Here's a little background: my husband loves to grocery shop and so do I." Is this like jump roping instead of jumping rope? (Oh, man, I need to re-up this account so I can do polls again!)

Reminds me of the compound verb "to gay marry", back-formed (back-formated?) from "gay marriage".
