Discussions about Malaise have always made me uneasy. I hope no one ever accuses me of causing malaise, because I feel sure that it will be true that malaise is what I am causing. The cure for malaise is really quite simple. You quit using the word. And it goes away. Maleggs is a whole lot worse than malaise. But with modern refrigeration there are very few cases of maleggs. Two whole generations in America have been born without knowledge of maleggs. "Last one in the pool is a maleggs!" just carries no meaning. Truly genuinely rotten eggs, putrefied to the point of incipient explosiveness, are totally unknown. Also, since most eggs are sterile, no one knows the thrill of horror any more of aiming at a fried egg and getting something with recognizable legs on it in the frying pan. Nothing is as good as it used to be.
