This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

AFAIK angina comes from the Latin word angere which means to suffocate.

Angina pectoris being suffocating chest pain, often accompanied by shortness of breath.

And Ludwig angina litteraly suffocating a person via swelling.
