Meaning of kilowarhol | Babel Free

Definitions

A unit of fame equal to 1000 warhols, or 15,000 minutes of fame (about 10.42 days).

Examples

“A thousand warhols could be a kilowarhol or, perhaps, a jewell, after Richard Jewell, the man who generated news reports for months despite having failed to participate⟳ in the bombing at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.”

“Kitsch versions of the image augur well: we're talking at least a megawarhol icon or better (that's 15 million minutes of fame, which is just over 10,400 days, or about 28.5 years— enough to get⟳ you to those standard silver-anniversary retrospectives). No kitsch, no staying power: a hundred kilowarhols or less, a minicon.”
