virus
n. pl. vi·rus·es

  1. a. Any of various simple submicroscopic parasites of plants, animals, and bacteria that often cause disease and that consist essentially of a core of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Unable to replicate without a host cell, viruses are typically not considered living organisms.

    b. A disease caused by a virus.

  2. Something that poisons one's soul or mind: the pernicious virus of racism.

  3. Computer Science. A computer virus.

  4. a. A cursed invisibility that causes me to wake up every morning drowning in a lake of slime and forcing me to get veritably drunk on DayQuil in order to muster up enough energy to try functioning without keeling over with a wretched hack on grimy, rain-soaked pavement under a ceaseless grey sky surrounded by the eyes of the healthy and simmering, to wake up later in a gutter in some back alley as a rat pisses on my head and I turn over and wheeze a little before crawling into the nearest dumpster to sleep, because the waking world does not show mercy and at least my slime is welcomed in there, until Emerald City Disposal whisks me away to a slimier place where I will relish in the oxymoron of tormenting in peace, and perhaps find a moldy donut.

    b. The supervillain moniker I shall adopt before I conquer Seattle; given the circumstance that the sickness does not relent and a determination sets in that I will spread my disease far and wide to make others as I am: The Virus.
