writher

A horribly bad hangover, so bad that all one can do is writhe in bed, tossing in the sheets. Usually incurring zero sympathy from any partners, spouses or loved ones. The Kris Kristofferson song "Sunday Morning Coming Down" is describing a writher in the line:

"Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt"

The narrator is clearly experiencing a writher.

Sorry I missed kickball practice this morning. I was out too late with some friends last night and woke up with a wicked bad writher.
