cwatkins commented on the word cholor
George Washington used it to describe bad temper. I believe it was also used for bile, which caused the bad temper. "45 Being to advise or reprehend any one, consider whether it ought to be in public or in private, and presently or at some other time; in what terms to do it; and in reproving show no signs of cholor but do it with all sweetness and mildness."
