How many of you were reminded of Mozart's Requiem first thing after seeing the word?

Yes, my first thought and the context made me think it is much too theatrical a word to use for a simple cry baby.Quite pompous. I tried to comfort my lachrymose sister. Nah...

Definitely! Isn't that the scene with the pool table, him rolling the ball back and forth? I've sung the entire requiem, and it's an experience, let me tell you! :0)
