M is for Megrim
A "megrim" is an archaic term for a migraine: bad headaches that are often associated with nausea and disturbed vision. I think I like the word because it sounds like it's a mythical creature: some sort of demonic being that lurks in the shadows and inflicts pain and suffering. Beware the Megrim! And, yes, I do suffer from migraines myself ...
Oh, and it's also a sort of fish.

ReplyDeleteDL - No problem! Hope it helps in some small way ...
ReplyDeleteHa! I love the demonic being thing...so very true and also appropriate. Migraines are so horrible and I get a good many of them. Great word today.

ReplyDeleteVery cool sounding word. It sounds medieval, or like the name of a metal band.
ReplyDeleteMichael - Yes, it would make a good band name.
ReplyDeleteInteresting word.I like your theme for the challenge.

ReplyDeleteI totally would have guessed it was a mythical creature! Or some scientific phenomenon, like "the shuttle was thrown off course when it was sucked into a fourth dimension megrim."
ReplyDeleteNicile - LOL. Maybe it should be.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to use "megrim" at the next opportunity. It's an interesting word!
