Collywobbles:
This refers to a weird feeling in your stomach or an overall bellyache. It is derived from the Latin phrase cholera morbus, meaning it came from the disease we all know as cholera. This is a word many people still use especially older individuals, and the background is quite dark! Many don’t realize the dark background much like many being unaware of the origins of “Ring around the Rosie.”
Now I know when my tummy bothers me with and off feeling I always felt something bad was going to happen. Now I know what to call it!
My stomach has not felt Collywobbles in a while though thank goodness. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

| I like this word Debbie, I will ignore the dark meaning, lol. I Think it sounds humorous, and I don’t know why, but it made me think of that dreaded monthly visitor as a a teen. It could have been a code word for that time. “I have the “collywobbles” this week. |
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

| LOL! It is a fun sounding word so I think I'll do the same as Wanda Sue and ignore the dark background. I tend to get the collywobbles if I stay up too late. My belly doesn't like it when I don't get enough sleep. |
