I have never seen that word before, and could not find any reference for it. I do believe we have a new word that works very well.

The closest I could find was "bided"...which according to dictionary.com is a

–verb (used with object)
1. Archaic. to endure; bear.
2. Obsolete. to encounter.
–verb (used without object)
3. to dwell; abide; wait; remain.
—Idiom
4. bide one's time, to wait for a favorable opportunity: He wanted to ask for a raise, but bided his time.
[Origin: bef. 900; ME biden, OE bīdan; c. OFris bīdia, OS bīdan, OHG bītan, ON bītha, Goth beidan, L fīdere, Gk peíthesthai to trust, rely < IE *bheidh-; the meaning appar. developed: have trust > endure > wait > abide > remain]

—Related forms
bider, noun

—Synonyms 3. stay, linger, tarry.

And since all the definitions seem to dovetail with the context...and since it is after 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday night...we can just call it a stronger version (added "d") than "bide".

Congratulations!

I'm baffolded :p :p :p
