puddlegluming

To sit in a full bathtub while the shower is also on. It's like sitting in a puddle in a summer thunderstorm, like a frog, marinating in your misery, possibly crying until you only have frog problems, like wrinkly webbed feet. Named after the pessimistic but slightly whimsical marshwiggle, Puddleglum, from the Chronicles of Narnia. Bring the rainfall experience to your bath.

"When I'm sad, I like to puddleglum. It's like crying in the shower but better."
"I spent an entire day puddlegluming after we broke up. I looked like a wet raisin."
"If I was a marshwiggle, I'd be puddlegluming too."
"Puddlegluming sounds fun."
