Hangover

A non-English word describing a phenomenon only experienced by non British people. In short it is when they imbibe more than 3 pints of beer and they feel very ill the next day as a result.

No word for this in English due to the ritual of hair of the dog

market hangover

After working all week picking, sorting, packing, loading, trucking, off-loading, setting up & selling fruit or vegetables at the farmers market all day, then packing up and going home to go to work, you run yourself ragged doing the country version of 9 to 5, which on market Saturday is 3am to 9pm....resulting in total exhaustion and a Sunday "Market Hangover". The resulting symptoms include: exhaustion, imploding headache, body aches & fatigue, sensitivity to moving about, bright lights and loud talking or noises.
Selling at the farmers market makes me feel like I came home at 2 o'clock from a night of drinking, but never touched a drop- I'm so dog tired beat with this "market hangover"!

Migraine hangover

Sort of like an alcohol hangover, except it is not caused by inebriation. Also known as postdrome. The end result of a migraine, it usually presents with a general feeling of tiredness, feeling bad all over, altered sensitivity to light and sound, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of having had a hot iron pressed to one's head or a troop of angry elephants ride on top of it. Best advice: rest and medication as prescribed by your doctor.

Dude #2: Nothing like that. M-i-g-r-a-i-n-e. That's what gave me this.

colonizer's hangover

an expression, thought, idea or behavior that exists or is upheld as a remanant of past colonial beliefs. These are sometimes not concious acts but instead may come as a "slip" into formerly held ideas from the speaker's society.
