Speaking of spending money, I should draw a literary critic's forced comparison between spending money and the other thing (because of intransitive sense #3). You think that's ridiculous? According to NPR, Poet Jena Osman has used real sayings from leaflets dropped over Afghanistan and Iraq; composer Keeril Makan says she told him "she was trying to show sort of the ties between the language of invasion and the language of advertising. These texts are really sinister, I think, the way she's transformed them." What complete codswallop.
By the way, to put it delicately, I'm not going to pay to be, um, "stepped on". I'd just as soon "step on" myself.
