(verb, to perelman)
the word emerged after Dr Grigory Perelman, a person famous for proving the Poincare Conjecture.

to perelman means to be working in complete isolation, without even your close friends or relatives knowing where you are and what you are up to
Example 1:
A: Haven't seen you in ages. Do you go to cafeteria for dinner at all?
B: No. In fact I am stressed because of exams, so I am perelmaning all day long, sleeping for 7 hours, and eating frozen food.

Example 2:
A: Oh by the way, how is C doing?
B: I have no idea, probably perelmaning in his room, again?..

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
