Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe something that has been continuing "to the point of nausea." For example "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam"; it has been discoursed extensively and everyone is tired of it. Pliny the Disgusticus wrote circa 120 CE, "...there is nothing quite like the feeling one gets out of going to Nausea Baths to soak one's bones in the vomit of 100,000 of one's peers." The baths were closed during a cholera outbreak when the only source of food fit to eat was the baths themselves, hence the "product" disappeared quickly.
