Where NKOTB and PM meet

The pmbok 4th edition was recently released, and I've spent some time this morning researching the differences between that and the 3rd edition.  The Austin PMI group released this PDF, which details some of those differences.  Being obsessed with order (I only judge others on this criterion though, never myself), my eyes immediately jumped to the numbered bullets on the right side.  Number 1: All process names are in a verb-noun format.  Upon reading that, my thought process went something like:
 
"verb-noun, verb-noun, verb-noun".... "hmmm..."..."hangin'-tough."
 
why did my brain immediately leap to a nkotb reference?? and even then a verb-adverb reference??  i'm ashamed for both getting the grammar wrong and failing to realize I have some deep seeded attachment to 80's boy bands.  And you thought project management was boring.
