Have been bed-ridden* since Tuesday afternoon incapacitated by fucking flu, and last night at 00:30 I woke up to an arrhythmia. Beta blockers worked a treat the way they usually do and I've now had enough of being ill.
Got mildly dressed, went downstairs, and am now tapping into that sweet sweet endorphins release.
@erikcats you can't casually ask an etymology question and not get an actual answer, time to rizz 'em with my 'tism! Ridden is from rider, so you're riding your bed. Riddled would be if you were covered in beds, and comes from hriddel which I had to look up, it's a kind of sieve, so to be covered in holes I guess.
@pidgeon_pete BUT SIR I get that for flea ridden dogs, who are generally scabby and be infested with whole clans riding them, but wouldn't I have to be doing the bed-riding?
I DEMAND CONSISTENCY (and knowing I'm demanding this of what is basically a greedy child's pocket equivalent of a language, I know this is futile)
