The morbs
“The morbs” is slang of the Victorian Era that indicates that someone is feeling temporarily depressed, melancholy or sad.
“The British lexicographer Susie Dent described ‘having the morbs’ as ‘to sit under a cloud of despondency.’ ”
We’ve all been there, right?
The painting, called Lucretia by Sir Godfrey Kneller is actually of the late 17th century, a couple hundred years prior to the Victorian Era.
This is one of more than a couple dozen mini-art prints I’ve created this year, and we’ll have them at The Oddities and Curiosities Expo in New Orleans next weekend. Grab one, put it on your fridge, throw it in a frame, hang it on your bulletin board, give one to a friends, you know—that kinda thing.
