First, I need to understand what 'purple washed' means. The term seems like a mix between 'purple' and 'washed,' so maybe it's something related to changing color from purple to another color, perhaps during washing? Or maybe a metaphor for fading or losing vibrancy? Since they want it hilarious, I should think of a funny analogy. Maybe comparing it to a grape turning into wine but with purple washed out by something... Wait, 'washed' implies being cleaned, so maybe something that's been washed and turns purple...? That doesn't make much sense. Alternatively, could it be a color that was once vivid purple but now looks more washed out, like faded purple? But the word itself combines both colors and the action of washing. Hmm. Let's brainstorm. Purple washed might describe something that's been bleached or diluted, turning from a bright color to a duller shade. Like how sunlight filters through clouds, turning the sky pinkish or something. Or maybe clothing that was purple now looks more lavender because of washing. But again, needs humor. For the definition part, maybe use a humorous metaphor. Let's see: "Purple washed is when your enthusiasm turns into lukewoth after reading five pages of a tax document." Wait, not quite. Need to be more explanatory. Alternatively, think of 'purple' as intense emotion and 'washed' as being subdued. So purple washed could mean something that's lost some of its intensity, like passion turned into mere affection. But how to make it hilarious? Maybe a joke-like definition: "Purple washed is the color you get when your dreams of royalty (royal blue) are stripped away by the harsh detergent of reality." Not sure if that works. Wait, 'washed' as in being cleaned with water or soap. So maybe something that's been washed and now has a different hue. Like purple clothes after washing become... what? Lavender? Or maybe when you wash something purple, it turns into a different color because of the chemicals. But how to phrase that humorously. Alternatively, play on words. "Purple washed is the aftermath of a lavender rebellion against Tide commercials." Not helpful. Maybe better to use an analogy involving art or nature. Let me try another angle. Purple is often associated with royalty, magic, or creativity. If something is 'purple washed,' maybe it's losing its royal flush, becoming more mundane? Like "His purple washed ambitions were now just as bland as his yesterday's breakfast." Hmm, not very funny. Wait, the term could be a blend of 'post-modern' terms. Maybe in tech contexts? Not sure. Let's think of a scenario where something turns purple when washed. Maybe astronauts washing alien fabric ends up purple-washed? No. Alternatively, like certain fabrics fade to purple under specific conditions during washing. But that's too vague. Alternatively, use a funny-sounding definition: "Purple washed is the celestial event where Neptune decides it’s more fashion-forward and turns a royal magenta shade every time Earth gets wet." That's silly but maybe not accurate. Wait, perhaps 'purple washed' is a term from a fantasy context. Like in Harry Potter, when something becomes... no. Alternatively, think of Dr. Who terms? Not sure. Maybe the key is to make it sound like an obscure color phenomenon. Let's go with that. So for the definition: "Purple washed is the mesmerizing hue that emerges when societal expectations scrub away your authentic self, leaving a dreamy lavender lament." That's a bit forced but humorous and combines both elements of purple and being washed (scrubbed away). Now, the example sentence needs to be edgy or unsettling. Using 'purple washed' in a context that makes someone uncomfortable. Maybe: "After her first psychedelic trip under Dr. Lauper’s guidance, Jenna's worldview had become so intensely [definition] that even rainbow edges were succumbing to its dulling embrace." Wait, but the example should use the word itself. Let me correct that. "Jenna's aura was now entirely in a state of 'purple washed,' causing her neighbors to initiate conversations about whether she might have been colorblind prior to her life choices." Hmm, not quite unsettling. Maybe more direct: "In his latest abstract painting titled 'The Essence of Disquietude,' Michael masterfully applied layers upon layers of translucent hues until the once-vibrant canvas had completely succumbed to a desaturated state known infamously among art critics as 'purple washed.'" No, that's too vague. Let's think of an unsettling scenario. Maybe something psychological or Lovecraftian. "Upon descending into the ancient ruins beneath the crimson moonlight, Professor Thorne's breathless exclamation revealed that even the temple walls had succumbed to a sinister transformation known in hushed tones as 'purple washed,' suggesting some eldritch ritual scrubbed away their original frescoes." Not sure. Alternatively: "As the reclusive artist aged further into his dementia, each stroke of genius became muddled with erratic bursts of mauve and lilac—art critics timidly coined this phenomenon among his later works as 'purple washed,' a term that now evoked both pity and eerie fascination." Alternatively, for something more edgy: "During the feverish aftermath of their clandestine love affair gone awry, the poet scribbled verses so replete with unrequited passion they could only be described in her newly coined term—'purple washed,' where every tear-stained sonnet was a testament to love both exalted and now clinically bleached by despair." Hmm. Maybe that's not quite right. Let's try another approach for the example: place 'purple washed' in a context that feels off or disturbing. "In the dimly lit backroom, amidst shattered remnants of what used to be an opulent Gatsby soirée, the once-vivid traces of celebration had been cruelly stripped away by time and revelry—leaving behind only the haunting whispers of ultramarine melancholy they affectionately dubbed 'purple washed.'" Not sure. Maybe a better example would involve something like altered states or Lovecraftian horror: "As the crew drifted further into the abyss, reality itself seemed to warp around them; instruments indicated that even their spacecraft had undergone an inexplicable metamorphosis—its once-bright red-and-white stripes now ghastly shades of 'purple washed,' a term whispered in terror as it signified the irreversible embrace of cosmic insanity." I think that's closer. The example sentence uses 'purple washed' in a context where it's part of something terrifying, suggesting an otherworldly transformation. So to summarize: Definition: A humorous take on color fading or being altered through some process (like washing), blending both colors and the action. Example: Uses it in an unsettling sci-fi/space scenario. Hilarious Definition: "Purple washed is that surreal, dream-like tint you get when your existential dread bleeds into a tepid glass of Chardonnay—it's like watching royal blue slowly dissolve into polite lavender during a 20-minute episode of The Office , but with way more cosmic irony." Edgy Example Sentence: "As the crew drifted deeper into space, instruments confirmed their habitat had undergone an otherworldly transformation—it was now bathed in eerie shades of
