Used ad nauseum - hereabouts, at least - and health merchants alike. Does it exist as an actual word? Get'cher wellness here? I think bloody not, and it is my hope that such a corruption does not worm its way further into my language.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

wellness

SYLLABICATION: well·ness
PRONUNCIATION: wĕl' nĭs
NOUN: The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits.
I think it must be one of those New-Age Vegitarian Left-Wing Commie Pinko Wacked-Out Ultra-Liberal terms that infected the language like a virus. :wink:

It's also the most boring class required of sophomores there is. They make the coaches teach it, i.e. the guys who ramble on, use worksheets, and pretend they're teaching you something.
