Wellium

Wellium

n.
an excuse you come up with to rationalize a disappointing outcome— telling yourself you weren’t in the mood for that sold-out show anyway, that your safety school is actually a better fit, that your dream job might have been a bit too stressful.

From the phrase “Well, I... um...,” which typically precedes such an excuse. Pronounced “wel-ee- uhm.”
