Def: 1. Relating to or suffering from dyspepsia (indigestion). 2. Having a bad temper; gloomy; irritable. noun: One suffering from dyspepsia.
The song Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered video by Ella Fitzgerald has a line that goes "Couldn't eat/ was dyspeptic/ life was so hard to bear." It was always such a jarring visual (because I just can't dissociate 'dyspepsia' from the bright pink Digene tablets) in a song that was in any case recounting the uncomfortable things about being in love.
I should add the line that rhymes with the above one in the song, it's equally visual and quite hilarious - "Now my heart's antiseptic/ since you moved out of there."
I have heard this song a lot over the years, but never pick up this word...in fact either of these words. Funny the things you learn.
