It doesnt seem to be nearly as severe (or as problematic) as vertigo. Vertigo, often the most debilitating symptom of Meniere's disease, forces the sufferer to lie down, sometimes for days! Vertigo attacks can also be accompanied by severe nausea, vomiting, and sweating and again, come with little or no warning.
The noun OSCAR has 1 sense: 1. an annual award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for achievements in motion picture production and performance. Familiarity information: OSCAR used as a noun is very rare.
Each one stands on a reel of film, which has five spokes, to represent the five original branches of the Academy. At first they were known by their full name, the Academy Award of Merit. The moniker Oscar came later-exactly how is disputed-and was adopted by the Academy in 1939. Fresh out of the smelter: The awards are seen above straight after being cast at the R S Owens factory in Chicago.
