Verse

Could the Verse be a variation on reversed?

Since the enemy causes a reversal. I have not noticed the use of verse.
But will be interesting to see..

One I love is in many villages in NW Alaska, they don't put a cigarette
out, they turn it off.

>From all I've heard, it means "to compete against" (generally in an
athletic
contest) and would be used in sentences like "The Giants will verse the
Bears
tomorrow."  "We versed the Panthers yesterday."  I do not have an actual

example.
