[Abbey Synnott]

Got the morbs" is a slang phrase or euphemism used in the Victorian era. The phrase describes a person afflicted with temporary melancholy or sadness. The term was defined in James Redding Ware's 1909 book Passing English of the Victorian Era.

Morbs is a slang abstract noun that is derived from the adjective morbid.[1] The word morbid came from the original Latin word morbidus, which meant 'sickly', 'diseased' or 'unwholesome'.[2] The word also has roots in the Latin word morbus, which meant 'sorrow', 'grief', or 'distress of the mind'.[3] The phrase appeared in the book Passing English of the Victorian Era (1909) by James Redding Ware.[1] The book states that the phrase dates from 1880 and defines it: "Temporary melancholia. Abstract noun coined from adjective morbid." The British lexicographer Susie Dent described "having the morbs" as "to sit under a cloud of despondency".[4]

In 2015, the Boston-based indie rock band the Sheila Divine released a full-length album titled The Morbs.[5] An all-girl band in Lincoln, Nebraska, named themselves the Morbs after the phrase.[6]

Research conducted in Australia in 2000 determined that although there had been improvements in the health of the population over previous years, increased inequalities for socioeconomically related mortality had occurred for some conditions. Studies in other developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, have suggested that socioeconomic position may be a risk factor for poorer pregnancy outcomes. Identifying high-risk parturients is critical for the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes because it allows targeted interventions and intensive clinical management of specific groups of women. The Australasian Maternal Outcomes Surveillance System is based on the methodology of the UK Obstetric Surveillance System and enables research and surveillance for a range of pregnancy complications across Australia and New Zealand. This study aimed to explore the independent impact of socioeconomic position on selected severe maternal morbidities among women in Australia.
