Noun. First described in Vienna in 1903 by Freud, this is s syndrome where people experiencing hiccups and lower back pain at the same time believe it is the result of eating overly rich desserts.
Oh, dear, no. I'm sorry to have to shift into therapeutic mode - it is so painful to make these interpretations at some remove from the target. You've trying to slip into an overly PC version of the meaning, no doubt due to projection of your own feelings onto other people.
A hicaliac is a person who desires/fantasizes/wishes fervently to survive, exclusively nourished by eating high-fashion, hi-calorie cupcakes. That is, one who suffers from hicalicupcitis, aka hicaligormicupcitis. It is a rare, but increasingly common form of mania. Often observed within the same family system.
I hate to burst your therapeutic bubble but I am famous for my no-sweet-tooth-and-no-desserts-give-me-bread proclivities. Thus, my niece's disappointment that I have yet to eat any of the cupcakes that she brings home on visits. The last time, however, she brought along the perfect snare -- her savories. So I project that anyone with real taste buds will go for the Jamaican Curry: West Indian Curry Spices, Chick Peas, and Ricotta Cheese Cake with Coconut Curry Dipping Sauce.
Well. . . did I make any mention of sugary stuff or dessert? Certainly not! I stand by my interpretation. After all, I have visited Freud's home, and Freud's other home. Having been touched by proximity to the former abodes of the revered Freud, I am fully confident of my insights. In addition, it seems that you are now adding denial to your defenses.
Well why didn't you say you'd visited Freud's home and Freud's other home originally -- if I had known the extent of your knowledge and first-hand experience, I would have just ignored everything you'd said in the first place.

ReplyDeleteIt seems our views of Freud are in accord. Excuse me while I go and eat a cupcake.
ReplyDeletewhew. I'm glad you two worked this out. I think I need a cupcake ...
ReplyDeleteHey! What happened to that cupcake I was saving for dessert?
ReplyDeleteWell, don't look at me. I had ciabatta.
ReplyDeleteAnd my ciabatta's gone, too!
