The following is a true classic that I discovered via Google:
"Nervous Breakdown"
"What's in a name? In the olden days they called it vapors, melancholia, neurasthenia, neuralgic disease, nervous prostration. Indeed, the medical profession originally thought that it was a disease of the peripheral nerves – only later deciding that perhaps it was a disease of the mind. What's the difference? We all know one when we see one: it's a crack-up."

First it's a nervous break"down" -- then a crack "up". Up, down -- anyone for sideways? :-) x 100
