Can “tightrope” be used as a verb?
Can tightrope be used as a verb? Or is it strictly a noun?
Example from my work in progress:
As most young children do, I acted upon the irresistible urge to tightrope, on top of the cobblestone.
If so, is 'tightrope' the correct spelling for the verb form or should it be hyphenated, like 'tight-rope'.
