With the pollen count above 10 and everyone wandering around like extras in a zombie movie about people who poached their brains on too much Nasonex, I wonder why we can't say they're "on the ragweed." It would certainly make contextual sense, it would lessen the impropriety of the originating statement, and of course it would apply to all allergy sufferers, regardless of age, nationality, class, race, religion, or most notably gender, working to grey one more sad barrier between men and women, whether or not they're on the rag.
