chondriac

1. The term "chondria" is Greek and means "cartilage" or "breast bone."

- However, the term "hypochondriac" has a completely different meaning.

2. Hypochondriac: A person who is abnormally anxious about their health to the point where they suspect they have a serious condition based on a few minor symptoms.

Guy: Hey man, you don’t look so good, y’alright?

Hypochondriac: Nah not really, I’ve got a migraine, I swear I’ve got a brain tumour or something.

Guy: Ouch, I’m sure it’s just a plain ol’ migraine…
