Guilt? Hello, I know 'guilt' is mostly used as a noun, but just heard from somebody in a sitcom that she said as below. "You don't have to guilt me, I will do it." Can anybody let me clarify this and how to understand the meaning of it? Thank you. Dan

Colloquially “Guilt” is used as a verb. “You don’t have to guilt me, I will do it.” (You don’t have to motivate me to do something by making me feel guilty if I don’t. I will do it) She’s guilting me into helping her move. (She’s motivating me to help her move by bringing up how difficult her situation will be if I don’t help her) It’s a fairly new use and probably not approved by all. Similar to “shame”

It seems this character's phrasing is a shortened form of "to guilt someone into doing something", which means to persuade someone do something that they wouldn't otherwise want to do. For example: She guilted me into going with her even though she knows I hate shopping! Don't guilt me into making me see her. She started the fight!
