Some #ttrpg verbs I have little interest in:

To run, as in running games like I'm some kind of machine.

To let, as in letting someone do a thing as if I'm some kind of authority.

To deal, as in having to deal with some problem that the game I payed money for is ignoring.
To run or to be the referee (our heritage from Strategos that #dnd has infected many #ttrpgs with) means I don't get to play. Or that I play with myself while everyone just gets to color within the lines. Nope, hosting the game doesn't mean I can't get to play with my friends.
To let or this strange vocabulary where freedoms we all already have are "granted" to us by those who run (ugh) the game or by the game itself. Don't buy a game because it gives you a set of permissions. Buy it because it gives you the tools that can make what you want come true
To deal or "how do you handle X", when we keep banging our heads against issues that a game ignores, a game that for some reason we can't let go. It's not our fault when we can't make that old game work for us. Let's demand better games for our hobby and encourage game designers.
