the sad thing is, if I did this to my family they’d prolly think it was hilarious and keep using the word…

Ha! Thanks. Now I’m guaranteed to giggle uncontrollably – and inexplicably – every time the stupid word comes up tomorrow!

This sounds great! I always assumed tryptophan was responsible, at best, for half the post-meal drousiness. The other half being attributed to: extreme overeating, unbearable heat combined with sweaters, booze, and the desire to avoid talking to family members.

I like @FakeAPStylebook ’s comment on twitter today in regards to how to talk about it

“Tryptophan” on first use, “Dad is too drunk to help mom wash the dishes” after.”
