n. a vague uncertainty that is immensely frustrating

v. to give a vague uncertainty that has no meaning and frustrates the hell out of a person

Origin: Named after the multi-national corporation whose name has become synonymous with moronic, meaningless corporate-speak, the name Nielsen became attached to the vague, empty promises that bosses give their employees, particularly during evaluations during the recession.
ex: I don't know what my plans are this weekend, its just a bunch of Nielsens so far.
ex: I went in there determined to get some straight answers, but he Nielsened the hell out of me.

Verb

Named after Kirstjen Nielsen, Trump-era Secretary of DHS who famously tried to rehabilitate her public image following committing atrocities at the US/Mexico border (see: caged detainment of children in squalid concentration camps).

To NEILSEN is attempt by a person, who was willfully complicit/ordered unthinkable, inhumane actions, returning to the very society they violated. Usually done through minimizing, or misrepresenting, the horrible actions for which they were exiled.
“Uncle Rodger got drunk and drove his car into the dining room last thanksgiving, now he’s trying to Nielsen his way back in to Christmas diner like we all didn’t see what he did.”

oh gosh, the EXTRA MOST BESTEST FRIEND ONE CAN HAVE. he supports his friends endlessly, even when they are acting like a stupid biatch. He always has quizzes due, BUT its okay because he is absolutely killing it with school and work. He is a doer! Maybe too much of a perfectionist, but uh thats not bad. It's only bad when he doesn't get sleep. He is a hard worker and very independent. Um he is genuinely funny, kind, fun, smart, and rational. He doesn't see it, but everyone else does. He aLsO hAs REALLY GOOD HAIR!!
Nielsen is will change the world, and we will be here to support him, yay!
