The part of speech reflects that used in the full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: You avoid, at all costs, going down the length of streets or going across big wide squares and things like that, and what you is you use the buildings as terrain as though they were hills or something, and typically what you’ll do is you’ll get into a building at one end of the block, and you’ll go from building to building by blowing holes in the walls inside with a process that’s called “mouse holing,“ so you don’t have to go in the street, because if you go in the street you’re vulnerable to weapons that have been sighted along the streets.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
