percieve

We perceive philosophy, and thus philosophy helps us to put words to our understanding, allows us to better express it. Which is why it's so beautiful to me, it's like its own language, with ideas as the color pallet / paints on a canvas. Where we have intuition instead of words, and concepts instead of phrases. In order to truly understand oneself, we must also understand what is around us. The science of understanding itself could be right around the corner. We learn from nature through trial, however nature also teaches us through example. - I am.

Perciver

Perciver is the portmanteau (slash) shipping name of Harry Potter characters Oliver Wood and Percy Weasley. The ship has been around for a long time, possibly since 1997, however it's fanbase is relatively small.

Oliver: Hey Percy, d'you want to *ahem* play Quidditch tonight?
Percy: But Oliver, you know I don't like flyin- OH! Er, er, right. Well yes, yes, definately.
Oliver: You know we have fangirls and they call us Perciver, right?
Percy: Yes, you showed me some of the stories they've written. Frighteningly accurate.

perceived coolness whore

The annoying individual who claims to be interested or expert in almost any topic that anybody else in a group refers to as cool, often to the extent that their involvement in so many activities and interests, or in a more oscure pursuit or fetish, may seem dubious.

"Hangliding looks cool" eliciting the response "Oh, I LOVE to hanglide, I'm an experienced hangliderist!"

or

"I have a friend who is into CBT" followed by "Ooo, CBT is the coolest - I do it all the time!" leading the original speaker to ask the perceived coolness whore to define CBT in semi-polite company.

At their worst, a perceived coolness whore might stumble, late, into a conversation about female contraceptives or male pattern baldness and, upon hearing a prescription drug name, will claim to have once done lines of the afore-mentioned drug off the back of a hooker at a Hollywood party.

perceived potential

Something anticipated or hoped for without any solid proof or promise.

You hire someone based on their perceived potential, only later you get a solid proof of their capabilities or promise.

When you pursue a girl, you want to date her based on perceived potential of her in your life. Only later you find out who she really is and if it's a good fit or not.

Before you move to a new location (city, area, country), the city has certain perceived potential in your mind. Only after living there for a while, you validate your hopes or assumptions.

perceived value

Perceived value is an intangible measurement to define elitism or fortune. 1. A credit card company issues a black credit card by invitation only. A second credit card also issues a black credit card for a fee. Both cards are perceived value cards because they offer prestige for not apparent reason. 2. A leased luxury vehicle that is far too expensive to purchase. A perceived value car often sits unused for the final three months to avoid the fifty cent per mile surcharge.

"Bob placed his black credit card in plain sight before the waiter brought the check. The perceived value of the card inflated Bob's ego."

"Claire and her friends drove sixty miles from their perceived value gated community to Laguna Beach or lunch."

"Claire used her perceived value black credit card to cover lunch. Afterward, her friends laughed because she had the wrong type of black card."

"Thomas leased a $150K luxury coupe. He could barely make the payments, but the perceived value of the car turned lots of heads."
