Gearing up for the inevitable effects of New Year's Eve revelry Sam Dean has rounded up an international glossary of terms for hungoverness for Bon Appetit's blog. Some are familiar like the Mexican cruda (raw) or French gueule de bois (wooden gob? What does that even mean?). But there are plenty of hilariously accurate terms for the after effects of a few too many. There's másnaposság, Hungarian for "next-day-ish-ness and the little used Italian postumi della sbornia translating to "after the death of drunkenness." Hike on over to Bon App for the full rundown of international hangover terminology
