Hmm. I have no idea at all. To be honest I've never even considered it before. I'd love to go and Google it then post like I've known all along. But then that would be cheating! :(
I think it came from an area that was particularly severe with punishment during prohibition. If someone was drunk, they'd hang. If they survived, they'd wake up with a "hangover". Just a theory, as I never google anything.
this is what cha cha had to say "It originally meant "survival." It was first used to describe the after-effects of drinking in 1904. ChaCha again!" didn't really answer much...
I really don't know but according to this --> http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/538320 it has something to do with hanging from the side of the toilette which is kinda funny. Ohh btw check my latest post, you got your prize ready.
@all: Oh, I don't know. I was hoping to get an answer here. :D But, seeing none of you knew it either, I'll look it up and post about the results. Soon enough, don't worry!

ReplyDeleteBecause you hang over the side of the toilet emptying your stomach contents?
ReplyDeleteI don't know and don't care. I'm too hungover to give a shit.

ReplyDeleteWhen I have one, I'm usually hung over the side of the bed, wondering why the room is spinning...
ReplyDeleteTell us :) Although I've never wondered about it.

ReplyDeletegreat question..think about it while I'm hungover tomorrow

ReplyDeletebecause you feel like hanged over a cactus
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but when it's hot, my balls hang lower than usual. I hope that helps
ReplyDeletei dont know :P haha
ReplyDeleteI'm with JDC, always thought it.
ReplyDeletewho knows good movie though
ReplyDeleteNo, wut.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was obvious. The ache hangs over your head. Or something.
ReplyDeleteDunno, in italian is different. :P
ReplyDeleteNope, because I've never actually had one before. :P
ReplyDeleteIts because you sprout wings while drunk and ravage the countryside with no knowledge of this later due to inebriation.
ReplyDeleteNever wondered about that one
ReplyDeleteI've never asked myself about this; well, why is it called a hangover?
ReplyDeleteCause your drunkness hangs over to the next morning? My best guess
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it was cus you're hanging over the toilet seat in the morning.
ReplyDeleteLike JDC said - heehee ^_^

ReplyDeleteGod knows why. And I won't be speaking to him anytime soon.
ReplyDelete@H: Well, if you look at it that way, it should be called "I wanna die day". :D
ReplyDelete@C: I sure hope so! :)
