Timburmenn.

If humans are not careful, they can sometimes get “timbur-menn”. (I have noticed that this often happens to them on Saturdays and Sundays.)

It sounds like “timber men”, but it means “hang-over”.

“Timburmenn” has been in my people’s language for a very long time, because my people have needed to use it for a very long time.

Because I am an island (not a human, like you) I do not know what it is like to have timbur-menn. But the people who help me on the Inter-net say that they do not recommend it.
