An adjective to describe a person or specific mannerism that is awkward to the extent that it makes you uncomfortable. A combination of the the words "permanently" and "nervous" (i.e. that person makes me permanently nervous). Synonyms include creepy, weird & awkward. Note that you can like and may even be friends with people who are pervous (e.g. Christopher Walken)
Example 1: People who are socially awkward - e.g. People who share too much information in an inappropriate forum are pervous. Similarly, people with whom you regularly share an uncomfortable silence are pervous.
Example 2: People with really weird physical mannerisms - e.g. A person who blinks a lot and reminds you of a ventriloquist dummy is pervous.
Example 3: People who either stare too much or avoid eye contact altogether - e.g. A person who you always say hi to in the hallway at work, but avoids eye contact and doesn't acknowledge you is pervous.
Example 4: Close talkers and people who have no sense of someone else's personal space are pervous
Example 5: Creepy or molestory people are pervous
Celebrity examples: Richard Simmons, Christopher Walken, Gary Coleman, Flavor Flav, William Hung, Carrot Top, Bronson Pinchot (aka Balki Bartokomous), Pauly Shore, James Spader, Verne Troyer (aka Mini Me), Milton from the movie Office Space, Chris Kattan, Joanie Laurer (aka China Doll), Cillian Murphy, William Shatner
