Oft miss-spelt word (especially bt pedantic Amazon forum flops) Means, acting like an arsey gaylord who has a Kindle stuck up their arse

Is lust in action, and till action, lust
Is purile, murd'rous, bloody, full of blame,

Enjoy'd no sooner but despisèd straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner had,
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad. . . .
