In Mexico it's called Montezuma's Revenge. In Bali it's called Bali Belly. What other colloquialisms for gastroenteritis are there around the world?

    US here. When I was a kid in the early 70s, in the Midwest we called it Hershey Squirts.

    I like the actual German name for it, “durchfall”. When I look in the toilet, it looks like something that would be called “durch”. And yep, it fell right outta me lol

      German here, durch means through. As in it fell through your intestines. At least that has always been my interpretation

        Everyone in the UK of a certain age knows what durch means because of Audi

    There’s Dehli Belly as well. No alliteration, but it’s got the rhyme.

    I never liked the term Montezuma’s Revenge. Moctezuma the Second was an accomplished leader and deserves more respect than to have his name misspelled with a diarrhea diagnosis.

    That being said I got it right as I left Mexico from vacation and prayed for death to take me.

        His name translates roughly “angry lord” or “lord he who frowns/grimace” so I like the idea he’s just mean mugging the descendents of man until the end of time.

      I totally agree with you on Moctezuma. Tourists ruin everything. Especially their own digestive tracts.

      Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I’ve ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.

    “Beaver Fever” is the occasional Canadianism I’ve heard, although its specifically for giardiasis.

    It’s probably a term used elsewhere too, but in the US Navy, when it’s coming from both ends, especially stationed or deployed on ship, it’s the double dragon. Ship food is bad. Ship food is rejected prison food. Moldy. Horrible. Absolute garbage. Garbage would probably be safer.

    Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it’s never with diarrhea.

    Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.

    Explosive diarrhea is how I frequently excuse myself from events.
