Can someone define what people mean by "DPS" as a verb?

I know it stands for "Damage Per Second" but when I read it in a sentence it makes no sense to me. Like if you're giving someone directions to drive somewhere: "You just go down the road on the left and then you Miles Per Hour until you get there." It makes no sense to me. Can anyone shed some light on what people mean when they say "DPS" as a verb? Also, to me, it further makes no sense because all damage can be measure by a time interval.

  • All these answers and none of them really make grammatical sense. . . Wouldn't saying "hit 'em hard!!!" be more appropriate than "Damage per second that boss!" I can only imagine a soldier saying to his buddy, "let's Damage per second the enemy. And by that I mean fire your gun as fast as it can fire. . . .you know, do as much damage as possible, because unless I clearly express what I mean, you might just shoot one bullet and let him kill us both." I think we all know what DPS means, but you make a good point.
