via The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows:
"n. the amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm, listening to waves of rain pattering against the roof like an argument upstairs, whose muffled words are unintelligible but whose crackling release of built-up tension you understand perfectly."

The DOOS is great. It's like listening to a poet who's sober.
