No, the attention wasn't nilas ( in fact a slang usage of nilas for 'nothing at all', see Urb.Dict.) Anyway sufficient to draw a list of pretty jolly defs.
.....................................................NILAS....................................................
Now. For the serious meaning of the word the unadorned presentation of defty defs.: : :
nilas
a) - a feeling of terrible depression or impending doom
b) - in chocolate making; the solid effluent from processing cocoa nibs.
c) - the block that surrounds a dancer's toes in a Pointe shoe, typically formed like paper mache with fabric and glue.
d) - the coin in use in northern Greece and southern Dacia before being conquered by the Romans.
e) - small water snails found primarily in Egypt. Only about 1 cm across, they are the primary vector for transmission of the parasite Schistasoma haematobium, which early causes "Swimmer's itch" and urinary bleeding, and later, in a small number of patients, bladder cancer.
f) - a venomous snake of South Africa
g) - a thin elastic crust of gray-colored ice formed on a calm sea; characterized by a matte surface, and easily bent by waves and thrust into a pattern of interlocking fingers.
h) - Nabisco's attempt at an enticing new name for a plain vanilla cookie (formerly known as "Vanilla Wafers").
**Generous entrants to this game of creativity and deceit are from: Jackie, Faldage, Owlbow, wofahulicodoc, LukeJavan8, Candy, some dictionary and Aloof Ciud Chow , a last minute new member of the board.
Voting is open to participants and passers-by. No strict time limit given, but as generally known, first guesses often proof best.

Trying to choose, I got a), so, with the help of my c)s, I tiptoed over to the grocery store and plunked down a couple of d)s, grabbed a box of h) and some b). Eating these made me feel better. ‘Beats kissing an f) or throwing myself through the g). I’ll focus on finding an e) repellent instead.
e) for me.

I gotta take F, the serpent. The worst it can do is get me thrown out of Paradise.
