noun
any malaise or minor ailment UK, 1954
The “dreaded” variation is a direct quotation from The Goon Show, which was originally broadcast on BBC radio in 1951. So much in the world of the Goons was “dreaded”. The “lurgi” found a currency among school-children where it was further applied to notional illnesses and any vaguely unpleasant or unclean disease that another could be accused of carrying.
