neurasthenic

But on Tuesday, remarkably little sounded discordant, fidgeting, screaming or neurasthenic.

Zaslavsky’s takedown of “Lady Macbeth” is vulgarly imaginative, centering on Shostakovich’s desire to “tickle the perverted tastes of bourgeois audiences with its twitching, screeching, neurasthenic music.”

With a neurasthenic mother now in charge, the Nichols family hobbled forward, neither well-to-do nor destitute.

The stock market, our swaggering symbol of financial health and Trump’s best asset, has become a neurasthenic Victorian lady prone to taking to her fainting couch.

Personally, I can’t even think of forty-seven botanicals, and, unless the company is selling directly to neurasthenic beagles, I can’t conceive of any customer who will sniff out every aroma.
