but of course in Australia (especially Victoria) we know the collywobbles is what strikes AFL team the Collingwood Magpies late in important matches like preliminary finals.

"And once again the Pies have been struck down with an acute case of the collywobbles in the final quarter"

Collywobbles [KOL-ee-wah-buls]
(n.)
-Stomach pain or queasiness associated with looseness of the bowels.

Used in a sentence:
“Half the parish came down with spumiferous collywobbles after sampling Aunt Gertrude’s gelatinous aspic tart — it was likely the anchovies that had gone a trifle off.”

spare a thought for all the comedians slowly realising the painful truth that they’re at no risk of being sacked because their work is just too normcore and toothless to ever be any kind of tangible threat to the emerging status quo. thats a tough gig.
