To kiffouille

Dictionary entry

To kiffouille — To experience, express or demonstrate an exceptionally favourable appreciation of something, whether a work of art, a situation, an event or anything else worthy of being kiffouilled.

Verb — CrestigniaKind.

French pronunciation: /ki.fu.je/ — kee-foo-YAY. English verb pronunciation: kee-FOOY.

To experience, express or demonstrate an exceptionally favourable appreciation of something, whether a work of art, a situation, an event or anything else worthy of being kiffouilled.

Derived from the French slang verb kiffer (“to really like”), the Crestignacian suffix -ouiller lends the action a more deliberate, enduring and unmistakably Crestignacian quality.

The original French verb kiffouiller is fully conjugated in the French dictionary entry. Its particularly remarkable literary past simple is « Nous kiffouillâmes » (“We kiffouilled”).

« Nous entrâmes à Pompudoi. Nous regardâmes. Nous kiffouillâmes. »

The French literary past simple is especially appropriate when a CrestigniaKind wishes to give a cultural experience a historical significance it did not necessarily possess in the first place.
