(British, colloquial) Rheumatism.
(British, colloquial, dated) Rheumatism.
The distinctly British colloquial word for rheumatism — the aching, stiffness, and joint pain that older generations talked about with weary familiarity. It's the sort of word a grandfather uses while rubbing his knee, or a landlady mentions while climbing the stairs. Rheumatics carries a warm, informal register that 'rheumatism' lacks, suggesting a condition so familiar it barely needs its full name. It's heard less frequently among younger speakers but still crops up in everyday conversation, particularly among older Britons.
(internet slang, derogatory) An abundance of indignation felt by one person or a group of people due to over-sensitivity, humourlessness, disappointment, or defeat; a gold mine (sense 3) of salt (noun sense 11).
