Grammar
But if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown?
Does "but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’” mean "but if we're writing (the lyric lines), I think you meant 'Bill Clinton would be all over on my gown', not 'Monica Lewinsky would be all over on Clinton's gown'"?
Context:
Correcting the Record
Lewinsky writes that she is still recognized every day, and her name shows up daily in press clips and pop-culture references. She admits that she used to refer to Maureen Dowd as “Moremean Dowdy,” but “today, I’d meet her for a drink.” And she requests one correction of Beyoncé, regarding the lyrics to her recent hit “Partition”: “Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’”

'If we're verbing' means 'if we are inventing verbs'. The phrase 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown' means that he ********** on her dress. Her point is that it is not right to say that she performed such an act,as a woman can't do it.
