What's the Arabic word for "hangover"?

I haven't been drinking - this, ladies and gentlemen (probably mostly gentlemen) is an "I fell off the Arabic study wagon again" hangover. As I was going through the cards the last few times (the last few times being some time in February, I think) and decided that I not only needed to make a ton of new cards (which I've literally been meaning to do for months now), but I needed to fix the old ones, too. I had a few repeat words, a few that were incomplete, and they just needed to be either fixed or destroyed in favor of new ones that weren't erroneous. (I'm a bit anal retentive, in case none of you had figured that out yet.

So, due to lots of peer pressure from Chops, I elected to go through fifty note cards first thing this morning. I got through thirty, which is better than none. I'm going to try to spend some time fixing the ones that are wrong, and making a few more, tonight when I get back from work. That's in among about ten other things that I need to do, and ten other things that I want to do, but if I invest the time once or twice, I won't have to for a long time after that... Sort of. Anyway, thanks for peer pressure, Chops. Keep it up.

Bottom line: thirty flash cards this morning, and hopefully a bunch more tonight.
