persual

the informal word for pursuit, used by those on 3 am coffee and arguably at least one 5 hour energy, while trying to type a research paper on something they know nothing about but are too lazy not to bullshit it all.

Joe: I am writing this paper in persual of science!
Bob: Isn't it pursuit?
Joe: Nah man, I wrote this at 2 last night, it's totally pursual and I've drank enough 5 hour energy to fight you on this
