Language evolves.
Party has been used as a verb as far back as I can remember and I have been here for over half a century.
Looks like I am right.

Well great! Enjoy yourself.
Well I've been here a little longer than that and I have a very good memory. Party started being used as a verb in the late sixties when drug use went through the roof. Although legal, I also include alcohol as a drug. Back then, the mere act of being sh*tfaced was known as partying, even if you just laid around like a zombie.
If you can provide earlier evidence via books, movies, tv shows, etc. I'll gladly change my stance. Until then I'll stick with my 'nincompoop' analysis.
BTW, your link neither supports nor disputes what I say.
I don’t know I have not been to the “Jersey” shore since 2003 and it was gross. Ocean City NJ. It was like Yonkers only with a beach.
Oh Party beaches LOL sorry I did not see that part of the title. I should put my glasses on.
“BTW, your link neither supports nor disputes what I say. “
Is there another dictionary that you will believe or is the English language whatever YOU decide?
I go to Long Beach Island on the “Jersey Shore” every summer, and it’s lovely. They do not allow chains (hotels, motels, restaurants) on the island. Mostly it’s beach cottages/houses where folks come for a week or more rental. A lot of Victorian (or neo-Victorian) houses. Not quite Cape May but really very nice and extremely family-friendly.
it’s the timing bunghole ... it wasn’t used that way up to a point, and then it was. That was and still is my point. I can’t help it if you choose to believe ottherwise.
“it’s the timing bunghole...”
OK I admit it. You have me baffled. What is a “timing bunghole”?
“What is the ‘timing bunghole’?
LOL!
I gotta say, Nik, I would sure as h&ll rather party with you than old bungwalker! haha!
show me that ‘party’ was a verb in a dictionary from the 1950s and I’ll admit you are right. That is timing, bunghole, as in when it first occurred.
You have some sort of problem?
I don’t give a red rat’s ass if you admit I am right or not.
I simply do no care.
So piss off already.
"Timing bunghole."
I will use it next weekend at work.
Should I give you credit?
For some weird odd reason.....I think Joe Biden knows exactly what a timing bunghole is..
Then don’t reply to my posts, bunghole.
