I can only deduct he needed a father to kick his ass at some point ?

Off topic a bit, but I noticed the word suicide being used as a verb in the title. Is that a new thing? I've always heard it as a verb phrase, i.e. "to commit suicide."

I have also infrequently seen/heard "suicide" used as a verb in the west. I don't think it is acceptable usage, more likely slang unfortunately making its way into common usage...
