Do you suffer from matutolypea<\/strong>?<\/p>\n If you do, then you are in a bad mood and easily annoyed, especially in the morning, or ill-humoured and downright obnoxious first thing in the morning [source<\/a>].<\/p>\n An example of how to use it: “The secret is not to talk to him at all until he’s been awake for at least an hour. Wait till the matutolypea subsides.” [source<\/a>]<\/p>\n Matutolypea comes from the Latin M\u0101t\u016bta<\/em>, the Roman goddess of morning or dawn [source<\/a>] (pictured above), and the Greek \u03bb\u1fe0\u0301\u03c0\u03b7 – l\u00fap\u0113<\/em> (sadness, suffering, affliction) [source<\/a>], so could also be translated as “dawn saddness”.<\/p>\n I learnt this word from an episode of the podcast Something Rhymes with Purple<\/a>.<\/p>\n Those you suffer from matutolypea might be said to have got up on the wrong side of the bed<\/strong> or woken on the wrong side of the bed<\/strong>. According to a superstition that dates back to the Romans, the wrong side of the bed is the left side, as the left is associated with bad luck and is decidely sinister<\/em> in Latin. The Roman emperor Augustus Caeser apparently always got up on the right side of bed beacuse of this superstition [source<\/a>].<\/p>\n
