What is a Pilver?
I’m so glad you’ve asked! One night, a lot of years ago, I was sitting with some friends at one of the friends’ house and we were doing nothing. No TV, nothing special, just chatting for the most part. It got to about three in the morning and one of my friends said completely out of the blue, “Nothing rhymes with silver.” Hmm. That was something new for my brain to process. So like idiots, we went through the alphabet to make sure his claim was indeed a fact. Nope, nothing did. In our interestingly bored little brains we decided to invent a word that did rhyme. Pilver Our new word. Meaning: the feeling one gets after having stayed awake for an unnecessary amount of time while accomplishing nothing. So, if used in a sentence one would say, “I watched the Hairdini infomercial for hours last night and now I have the pilver.” One can also be pilverized, as in “I rearranged my trash cans last night and now I am going to be pilverized all day." You cannot really pilver something or someone else. For the pilver is a noun, that can in some cases be morphed into an adjective. I encourage others to adopt this word as I would like to be remembered by Merriam Webster when I pass. So go, count your eyelashes or rewash those dishes in your cupboard. Then tomorrow, use the new word and we can start a revolution!
The Pilver is written by me, Kristiane aka kb. Currently I'm a nomadic single mother, and if that changes I'll most likely decline to share the details over the Internet. My son, who is referred to often as 'The Max' happens to be the most brilliant and challenging child I have met. At least that's what it usually says on his report cards.
Currently I am paid nothing for my writing. I have been a senior for quite a bit of time, working towards a degree in journalism. But, when graduation day arrives do you wanna come to my party?
Other than becoming a pro writer, I have a life goal of entering 'pilver' into Mirium websters fat ol book of words.
