With tears streaming down her face, she continued: 'Bianca told me everything, ok? My heart literally dropped and I was like 'what did I ever do?' 'A lot of the stuff I say is out of humour and bad taste sometimes and you know that and I'm sorry,' Morgan apologized. 'I'm telling you I very much care about you but I don't expect you to believe anything I'm saying right now. I'm genuinely telling you I'm really sorry.'
So, growlery (sự càu nhàu) isn't in the concise OED any longer, but there is a Twitter feed (@TheGrowlery) and a website (http://thegrowlery.com/) and seemingly infinite references to Dickens' line from Bleak House, "This, you must know, is the growelry. When I am out of humour, I come and growl (gầm, rền) here." There's a livejournal called The Growelry (http://forthright.livejournal.com) of course and a Facebook group. There are thousands of references scattered across the Internet to this word and thousands more in the old books available on Google Books.
In the Latin spoken by the Romans, "humor" was the word for moisture (hơi ẩm), fluid. As late as the Renaissance, people clung to the ancient belief that a person's physical and mental condition was governed by four fluids in the body - blood, phlegm (đờm dãi), choler (nước mắt, sự tức giận) (yellow bile) and melancholy (sự u sầu, phiền muộn) (black bile), known as the cardinal (cốt yếu) humours. When the humours were in a balanced mixture, the person was in good physical and mental health. When the mixture was not balanced, the person became ill or moody - out of humour, as the expression goes.
