Wow, I didn't even know about this one. Learning is awsome. I mean, I knew the obvious meaning, but now that I know the whole thing, I'm so using it more often. Let's make a sentence shall we?
"I, against my better judgement, tend to constipate my room full of crap, not litterally I hope."

Perhaps you're learning the wrong way? Like some thermometers are for the armpit, some for the mouth some ... well, let's not go there. =P

A toxic body results in numerous ailments. Millions of Americans suffer from arthritis, migraine headaches, obesity, allergies, acid reflux disease, high cholesterol, and heart ailments. All of these problems are rooted in toxins, metatoxins, and the debilities that result from an unclean digestive system.
