jducoeurIt feels to me like there is a linguistic opportunity here. We don't really have a concise single-word way in English to say, "to turn into absolute shite". (The British phrasing seems somehow appropriate for such an elevated question.)
Surely, this year must provide the ideal basis of such a word. But I'm not sure of the best way to verbify it.
Thoughts?
(Oh, and yes -- feeling much better now, thanks. As expected, it was just an unusually hard reaction to the flu shot.)
