Comment on Show HN: Flatito, grep for YAML and JSON filesparent

Comments

Hi! Author here! I am spanish, flato means that, but it's also that pain in the side of the belly when you are running.

ha, that's funny. Now that you mention it I've heard this. In my case I was referring to Chilean spanish.

Is there an English word for that?

Colloquially just sideache, AFAIK.

I always enjoy these side diversions, because they're full of "Huh, WTFs". In English I'd never heard anyone call it anything but "a stitch"¹ colloquially or ETAP as an actual condition, but sure enough side ache features in the list of alternatives on Wikipedia.

Oddly, Wiktionary has an article for sideache² and a link to that page if you look for side stitch. Makes me curious how often that is the case now. [/me sniped]
