perv; perve
noun- a sexual pervert AUSTRALIA, 1942
Sometimes “perv” carries the same force as its origin “pervert”, thus “someone with a kinky sexual bent”, “a person obsessed with sex”, “a lecher” or “a homosexual” (by those who regard this as unnatural). Can also be used in a weaker sense to refer to anyone whose sexual behaviour is unwanted. - “Just look at that ole secko, will you?” he said disgustedly, and scooping up a stone he ran after it, yelling, “Merv, Merv, the rotten old perv,” throwing stones at its feet until it slipped into invisibility at the alley end. — Ruth Park, Poor Man’s Orange, p. 38, 1949
