      This sounds like a joke, but we really do say that!

        My dad used to say this. None of my family has ever even been to Pennsylvania to my knowledge though, lol

      I have heard it called that and I physically recoil every time I hear it.

      Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I’ve ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.

    I never liked the term Montezuma’s Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.

    That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.

      I like the idea that he’s so powerful and vengeful that he’s returning from the grave to fuck with Europeans

        His name translates roughly “angry lord” or “lord he who frowns/grimace” so I like the idea he’s just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.

      I totally agree with you on Moctezuma. Tourists ruin everything. Especially their own digestive tracts.

        I wanted to go see Tenochtitlan and Teotihuacán. Worth it.

    “Beaver Fever” is the occasional Canadianism I’ve heard, although its specifically for giardiasis.

    It’s probably a term used elsewhere too, but in the US Navy, when it’s coming from both ends, especially stationed or deployed on ship, it’s the double dragon. Ship food is bad. Ship food is rejected prison food. Moldy. Horrible. Absolute garbage. Garbage would probably be safer.

    US here. When I was a kid in the early 70s, in the Midwest we called it Hershey Squirts.

      I have heard “beaver fever”… but typing it out for the internet just makes it sound like a euphemism.

    I do know that when you’re walking down the hall, and you feel something fall, it’s diarrhea. Uh uh! Diarrhea !
