A substance or influence, with an apparently magical effect. Brought to America from Ireland centuries ago, it renders Irishmen in general and Hagan'
s in particular to fits of childish behavior. Such as waking up naked in cornfields in the wee hours of the morning, howling at the moon, leaving their wives and
family'
s for butt ugly women with peanut butter legs and other acts of deprivation. Folk'
s believe they have been "Sprinkled by the fairy'
s with Bloomerdust." There is no known cure for it, only time
may help.
