Swatting became a verb in the 90s.

Swatting wasn't really a thing until the 2000s. The term wasn't even really coined until nearly the end of the 2000s. The FBI was using it in like 2008 or so.

See Wikipedia or this FBI archive article https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/february/swatting020408
