OP 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").

Voting is open to participants and passers-by. No strict time limit given, but as generally known, first guesses often proof best.
