Abbreviation of epilectic fit. Usage; “Jesus, don’t have an eppie - it’s just a bit of blood and some visible bone”. A common variation is the school bag swinging eppie fit, where no-one gets near and the eppie fitter is probably crying snot.

Previously Undiagnosed Epilepsy - known as “PUE”, or “What the fuck is Robert Squire doing?”

First encountered during the part of the Physics curriculum that involved use of strobe lights to study wave motion or something.

As well as strobe lights and computer games, pencil cases may cause eppie fits. In particular, when thrown with precision at a sufferer’s head.

I was the worst of five epileptics in my secondary school.

On the down side, I had the full-blown-fall-down-stop-breathing-shake-and-froth-at-the-mouth ‘Grand Mal’ seizures.

On the plus side, when St. Barts cracked down on jewellery, I could carry on wearing my MedicAlert bracelet.

BLING!!!
