Crapulence

I am excited to have found this word! The scatological child within giggles.

Excessive indulgence; intemperance.
----------------------------
[From crapulent, sick from gluttony, from Late Latin crpulentus, very drunk, from Latin crpula, intoxication, from Greek kraipal.]

OH! I felt crapulent last night after Eric and I broke the Fast with too many potstickers.

And I, after Nancy I and I had pie at Bakers Square last night. What is it about having too much sugar after fasting all day?

The first time I ever heard of this word, it was from Mr. Burns. I thought it was some old 1920s word that didn't mean a reference to "crap." Rather I thought it would be some elegant word. I was wrong.

Yes, there is nothing elegant about staggering up the stairs to the movie theater after overestimating the amount of space in my stomach.
