The game is familiar to me from Yes, Minister, a TV programme which was an expert satire on British politics. Bernard Woolley, a senior civil servant, would refer to these as "irregular verbs". From the quotes page at IMDB: "That's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it? I give confidential security briefings. You leak. He has been charged under section 2a of the Official Secrets Act. "
More irregular verbs here.
The first one of these I can remember reading was "I'm erotically open-minded; you're kind of kinky; he's a disgusting pervert."
