What is Starbucking?
1.
Yet another example of noun verbing, starbucking describes an action anciently known as "going out for coffee".
The verb probably originates from some shopping-mall in Seattle, but is now widely used around the world, in the most diverse places, though almost always by college educated twenty somethings who are always broke but don't mind paying fortunes for useful things like coffee and white mp3 players.
Starbucking: Like, when I was in Beijing, I so totally starbucked in the Forbidden City.

Copying the Starbucks™ business-model all across the World on an unprecedented level. Startup companies that has copied the franchise-scheme of Starbucks coffeehouse (small vendors/ neat outlook/ gourmet catering...), are now called 'Startbucks'!
Also, university classes called 'Starbucks studies' are now being taught at some colleges across the United States, too!
Starbucking is so popular in Third-World countries like India and China that these countries started their own carbon-copy Starbucks (complete with that famous green logo), but the Starbucks company is going to open nearly 100 franchise outlets in India by the end of 2007 in retaliation!
