      Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I’ve ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.

    There’s Dehli Belly as well. No alliteration, but it’s got the rhyme.

    I never liked the term Montezuma’s Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.

    That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.

        His name translates roughly “angry lord” or “lord he who frowns/grimace” so I like the idea he’s just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.

    “Beaver Fever” is the occasional Canadianism I’ve heard, although its specifically for giardiasis.

      I have heard “beaver fever” but typing it out for the internet just makes it sound like a euphemism.

    It’s probably a term used elsewhere too, but in the US Navy, when it’s coming from both ends, especially stationed or deployed on ship, it’s the double dragon. Ship food is bad. Ship food is rejected prison food. Moldy. Horrible. Absolute garbage. Garbage would probably be safer.
