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

There's Dehli Belly as well. No alliteration, but it's got the rhyme.

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.

"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.

Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)

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 !

Not a place around the world but when I was growing up there was a restaurant called genghis grill and it was really good but we called the aftermath Kahn’s revenge

Yeah, so so many aussies on Bali on the south end around Nusa Dua/Kuta/Seminyak. I stay away from all that stuff.

I like the actual German name for it, "durchfall". When I look in the toilet, it looks like something that would be called "durch". And yep, it fell right outta me lol

German here, durch means through. As in it fell through your intestines. At least that has always been my interpretation

Everyone in the UK of a certain age knows what durch means because of Audi

Durch Audi is a much worse slogan than Das Auto

I think for a nice universal slogan we should rally...behind.... "Throwing soup"

Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it's never with diarrhea.

Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.

Andrew Wakefield invented a new form of gastroenteritis that he "theorized" caused autism.
