Mnemonics-The Maniac Episode

Hey Amigos!! Have you ever come across any blockheads who love to make a fuss out of every smallest thing they face?
Well, if you haven’t yet, here we go! Hope this story will give you a slight hint of what exactly bad tempered creatures are!
25th April, it was a sunny day with sun casting over its blessing in form of scorching heat and drenching sweat all over the Chennai. Krishna, a young lad has just visited his native place to meet his grandparents and spend his summer holidays. It was around 5pm in the evening when suddenly he heard chaos of youngsters and ticks of cricket bat and bowl. India is a country where cricketers are preached as Gods. So, it wasn’t amusing, that our young lad sprang upon his bed just to hit some centuries and take few wickets. With the excitement and determination of being a true Viratian of the evening, Krishna inquired his grandpa, who was engrossed watching IPL match between RCB and MI,
Krishna: Dadu!! If you don’t mind, can I steal the show by being a true viratian today?
Grandpa: Sure krishu, I would love to dine with a true champ!! But how?
Krishna: Dadu, there are some boys playing outside in the colony, if you don’t mind can I join them?
Grandpa: Sure krishu! Just make sure the ball doesn’t hit Mrs Desai’s window.
Krishna: Why dadu? Is she a lady Hitler of this colony?
Grandpa: Yeah krishu! She is indeed; just avoid hitting shots that side, everything would be fine!
Krishna: Thank you dadu! You are the best dadu of this entire universe! Love you so much!
After getting the permission from Grandpa, Krishna’s wings were on fire!! He joined the kids outside and started playing cricket together. He was playing some great cricket shots but it seemed that ball was not in his court that day!! The ball hit the window of Mrs. Desai.
Booom!!!
There was a big 10cm hole in Mrs. Desai’s beloved window pane!!
Since other guys were localities they knew the rage of Mrs. Desai which was about to unleash!! So, without wasting a single second they left our poor young lad to face the tyranny of the beast!
As expected, Mrs. Desai raged out of her home, holding the ball in one hand and broom stick on the other.
Mrs. Desai: Hey you, tiny chipmunk! Was it you, who broke my beautiful windowpane?
Krishna: I am so sorry!!
Mrs. Desai: I don’t want your bloody sorry!! Where are those other scoundrels!!
Krishna on realizing that he is in big trouble, tried to mollify the Mrs. Desai by touching her feet.
Krishna: I am new to this place aunty ji!! Please let me go. I won’t play hereafter.
Mrs. Desai: Your juvenile tricks won’t work on me kiddo, nor my windowpane going to get refurbished.
Krishna: I realize I committed a mistake, I will ask my dadu to pay for your losses aunty.
Mrs. Desai: So that you can break it again!! I want to put this end to this shit!!
Saying this she took the bat from Krishna’s hands and smashed it against the ground.
Smaash!!
In no time, Krishna’s beloved bat was in two pieces!!
Krishna couldn’t hold this anymore and broke out stating,
Krishna: Dadu was very right! You are such a bad tempered and annoying woman!! I hate you aunty!! You are the worst person I ever meet.
So, fellas this are the characters of bad tempered people. In this chapter, we will learn more words which are meant for them.

Here is a list of few words:

Meaning: an obsessional preoccupation with cleanliness, washing or bathing, often accompanied by compulsive rituals

It is derived from Latin ablutere meaning to wash off and Greek mania meaning mad, crazy.
My mother has ablutomania, so she takes bath almost 5 times a day.The child’s ablutomania had become a pain for his mother as she was constantly engaged in looking after him whenever he went for a bath.

Meaning: passionate enthusiasm for collecting and possessing books

Bibliomania derives from the Greek terms biblíon meaning “book,” and maníameaning “madness.” It entered English in the early 1700s.
His bibliomania drove him to pay a fortune for any book that caught his interest. He was a lover of classical literature who passed his bibliomania to his son.

Meaning: an uncontrollable craving for alcoholic liquors

It is derived in Mid 19th century: from Greek dipso- (from dipsa ‘thirst’) + -mania. Did I mention I have fairly severe dipsomania? These characters could inhabit an early Waugh but not a later one, where dipsomania is not a joke but a debilitating disease that wrecks lives.
