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.”
