Note
A food noun turned verb by its shape: to taco is to bend in half the way a tortilla folds around its filling. The -ing form works with an object (a crash tacoing the rim) or without one (a flimsy wheel tacoing on its own). As a gerund it names the damage itself. It is slang, at home in casual talk rather than formal writing, and the spelling simply adds -ing to taco.
