Mouse?

[camus8]

New forms of verbs pop up everyday.  Yesterday was particularly interesting when my boss said:

• I need my right arm to mouse.

To mouse?  She needs her arm to mouse?  Now, as I was driving, I was wondering if maybe she just ellipted the verb use.  That could be.  I've never heard that unique sentence before.

I better get back to mousin' around.

pfft. I heard it in the mid nineties. You just don't run with the right crowd.

Yes, as in mouse over a toolbar button and the tooltip pops up.
