Spleen
Definition:
(n.) A peculiar glandlike but ductless organ found near the stomach or intestine of most vertebrates and connected with the vascular system; the milt. Its exact function in not known.
(n.) A sudden motion or action; a fit; a freak; a whim.
(n.) Melancholy; hypochondriacal affections.
(n.) A fit of immoderate laughter or merriment.
(v. t.) To dislke.
Example Sentences:
