THE CHEESE AISLE DICTIONARY, Vol. 2

Stuff that should be in the dictionary but isn’t.

Long-time readers of my previous site may recall the Blog d’Elisson Dictionary, installments of which may be found in that site’s Archives.

For other entries in the Cheese Aisle Dictionary, simply click on the sidebar link for Cheese-Dic.

And now for today’s word...

capsicolon [kap-si-ko-lun] (n) - a digestive condition generally experienced approximately 24 hours after having eaten food containing large quantities of chile peppers. See also: scovillosis, ringburn, kim-cheeks.

“Having that lamb vindaloo Tuesday night was a Big Mistake - I’ve had a massive case of capsicolon for the last two days. Yow!”
