Katzenjammer

Katzenjammer is a German word literally meaning "cat's wail" (caterwaul) and hence "discordant sound", sometimes used to indicate a general state of depression or bewilderment. In the English speaking world it is often used as a term for a hangover, with the sufferer's groans of discomfort being likened to a wailing cat. In fact, the German language uses the term "Kater" (tomcat) for this situation.
