Verb. To purposefully, or perhaps absentmindedly (but unapologetically), bump into someone on the street and continue walking. The term is derived from the famous music video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve. The video depicts Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft walking down a sidewalk, bumping into everyone he passes--the implication being that he is unmoved by the presence of the other pedestrians.

An amazing band that spawned three great albums when they were together. The band finally found commercial success worldwide, with their album Urban Hymns (which is also arguably their greatest work). There haven't been any rock bands as great as the Verve since their split. They were in a league of their own.
"Have you heard 'History' by the Verve?" "Yes, It's probably the greatest song ever composed" "I so agree"
Originally called simply Verve until conflicts with the jazz label Verve caused the name-change to The Verve. Famous for their hit songs Bittersweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and others. The band split up after their final (and arguably greatest) 1997 album Urban Hymns, but still nothing quite equals them today. They don't write a few hit songs and a lot of filler, they write a whole CD of great music.
"Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life."
Elation or enthusiasm. Liveliness.

When walking, to bump into someone. You walk as if they weren't there, bumping into their shoulder with your own, a la 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' by the Verve. If done correctly the vervee will be deflected from their path or fall over completely
Hay! That dick just verved me.
