There is something super exciting about a 19th century word brought back into 21st century vernacular. Weird words in general can make you smile and think, espeically when they sound so contradictory to their meaning. Take "mulligrubs" for instance. It's meaning? The blues- a depressed state of mind. It's a good idea to appreciate what's old and make it new again.
