Marineate

Marineate: verb. To become or make something/someone into a marine, or a marine creature. This does not mean that if you throw a cow into the ocean, that is marineating. However if you attach gills to the cow and then throw it into the ocean, then that is marineating. The process of making a person a marine is actually extraordinarily complicated as it requires not only drafting by a proper military officer, but also arduous exercise, an extensive portfolio, an excellent knowledge of knots and an innate ability to recognise individual seagulls. A popular example of someone marineating comes from Finland, which in an attempt to make pork their most popular export marineated 54,000 pigs and dumped them into the North Sea. Let's just say that the Sea Cucumbers were more effective at existing underwater.
