I thought you had a creative mastery of your tongue, AC. At least based on a few of your posts.

Psychosomatic means a physicial disease brought on by the mind. A good example is an ulcer.

Ah, cross post with Zkribbler.

That is exactly why I wasn't sure I was right. I remembered there being two words that were related, and I was pretty sure Psychosomatic was the one I didn't want, but couldn't think of the correct word (hypochondriac).

So in the last 3 minutes I've had the wrong word confirmed for me, and then taken away and instead had my doubts confirmed.

Haha.

I'm trying to think of a word. It describes something that is incredably annoying that I can't get rid of no matter what I do.

Albatross (or "albatross around your neck")

Millstone

Ball and chain

Do any of these phrases work? Can you think of what the etymology might be? (Greek, Latin, French etc.)

You were wrong about teh "mature woman who goes to Greece for vacations, falls in love and sleeps with a handsome greek, later finds out that the greek sleeps with all tourist women, but at the end she doesnt mind because she had a good time" bit, though; it's actually about Russel Crowe who goes to Rome and pwns teh hell out of everyone there
