dollop of spleen

A bit of anger.

A dollop, of course, is a small lump of something--generally a colloidal food, such as sour cream or whipped cream.

"Spleen" means anger. This is no doubt related to the fact that the spleen was thought to be one of the four organs associated with the humours involving emotion--specifically it was thought to excrete black bile. whose Greek name gives us the word "melancholy".

As such, you might expect "spleen" to mean "sad", but perhaps it's better understood as "grumpy", at least when served up in dollop-sized quantities.
"If the force of gravity varies with altitude, how would that affect the height of the drop?" asked Daniel Waterhouse.

"Do it at sea-level," said Hooke, with a dollop of spleen.

boganii splendicus

The "splendid bogan", a sub species of the famous "boganii australis". This particular beast is extremely hard to recognise for they appear "normal" on the outside, in fact they are often considered "beautiful", but deep down they are terrifyingly ugly and BOGAN!
They are often found throughout the "North Shore" and "Eastern Suburbs" of Sydney.
David Attenborough; BE WARNED. "One must exhibit extreme caution when approaching the Boganii splendicus, for looks can be very deceiving".
