I'm not sure peacock and raven count as verbs either. [/spoilsport]

Peacocking is well established as meaning strutting, posing, dressing up posh, etc.
Looks like the best one can say for raven (v) is that it’s a homograph of the noun.

I've never once heard that usage, which surprises me given what a poser I am myself.

... is not a verb! You can cock something up, or cock something over, but unless I'm really not down with the kids any more you can't just cock something.

Well it's not the kind of thing *I'd* do, anyway. ;)

Cock a hip, cock a pistol, plus a bunch of obscure/obsolete usages.
