Saucing

From the “Verbing weirds language” file:

I can’t understand why he doesn’t get bored with his food, since he doesn’t go in for saucing.

Overheard on the bus home this evening, said in an entirely normal tone of voice by a woman with a posh English accent, describing a third person to her friend in the next seat.

I can in no way condone the transformation of the word “sauce” into a verb.
