A suffix attached to any topic to mean "fully converted to that viewpoint." "Espresso-pilled," "bike-pilled," "sleep-pilled." From "red-pilled" (The Matrix, 1999), generalized to any conversion. The word works because it compresses "I tried this, it changed me, I'm now proselytizing" into one syllable.
