I hope you feel better soon.
"Purin" - sounds like something for a vehicle - purring engine. Going along smoothly or just casually going?
"pur" - maybe, just added to make it more casual?
Something to do with teen movement? skateboards, BMX bikes? Scooters? So, not trying to do stunts, but just traveling/going along?
Oh, darn. I just saw
I am even more confused now.
