They verbed it, although it is already a verb with a different meaning. https://english.stackexchange.com/q/42666/36710 – livresque Aug 05 '20 at 04:39

brain-storm; brain-drain as compound verbs as well as nouns. A synonym to OP's question could be 'cerebrate'. – Ram Pillai Aug 05 '20 at 13:51

Brain has long been used as a verb. To hit someone over the head with a cudgel is to Brain them. This is something I consider doing to people when I see they are Verbing things into existence rather than use the words already available.

Typically no, but the context is that they are making a play on words against "train", so it works in this scenario.

It is not a verb, no, but in informal language, it could be used as one. For example, saying would you like to (noun) better would indicate using whatever the noun is better.

It *is* a defined verb, just not in the intransitive sense used in the question. – Jason Bassford Aug 05 '20 at 16:06
