I love Spring. It's my favorite season. All the trees are becoming green again. Flowers are blooming. Birds actually use the birdhouses. Everyone is getting in a relationship. The world no longer looks bleak and bo-- Wait. Back up. "Everyone is getting in a relationship." Is this because of Spring? Is it coincidence? Nah. It couldn't be. There's something about Spring that gets couples all lovey-dovey. And that, dear friend, is called Vernorexia.
"Vernorexia? wHaT's ThAt?" I can hear you asking through this screen.
I actually just explained it. If you're having trouble comprehending that:
Vernorexia is a Romantic Mood inspired by the Spring and warm weather and, oddly enough, the color Green. (Green M&M's, anyone?)
It's actually a great word. Vernorexia comes from Latin, along with a Latinized form of Greek. Vern- comes from the Latin "Vernus", meaning Spring, or In the Spring. -Exia comes from the kind-of-Latin-kind-of-Greek root "Exien", which means "To be in a condition."
So, I guess, technically, Vernorexia means "A condition caused by Spring", which could be interpreted then as Allergies. Therefore, Lovey-Dovey is the same as Allergies. Science.
By the way, another word for Vernorexia is Vernalagnia.

In the definition, I assume you meant A condition caused by spring. But I like the word, and girl/boy friends are for loser dweebos.
ReplyDeleteHere's a little ditty I read before about vernorexia.
ReplyDeleteI always have increased desires
Whenever I smell autumn fires
Winter, because it is colder,
Often makes me a little bit bolder.
And summer, so sticky and hot,
Makes my hormones erupt on the spot.
But in springtime I feel so much sexia,
For nothing can match vernorexia!
