(noun, singular). An abbreviation of diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, an antihistamine. A common and notable side effect of this drug is sedation, so many people will take (and can buy over the counter) these in tablet form in order to get some shut eye. It's not often that it is misused since the sedative effect is actually rather unpleasant for most people and feels as if one "can't really get enough air," even though this is merely a feeling and not medically accurate.
Diphens should also be taken by those having a severe allergic reaction (before an epipen, if possible and appropriate) in order to avoid full-on anaphylaxis. Depending on the presentation and speed of the progressing allergic reaction, it may be necessary to simply give the epipen immediately.

"I can't sleep - do you know where the diphens are?"
"I was only able to sleep last night after I took a diphen."
"Without diphens, my anxiety keeps me awake almost all night and I never sleep very well."

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
