Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating,[3] in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature.[4] Although primarily a physical burden, hyperhidrosis can deteriorate quality of life from a psychological, emotional, and social perspective.[5] It has been called by some 'the silent handicap'.[6]
It has the same meaning as going Dutch. Curiously, in South American countries exist the Spanish phrase pagar a la americana (literally To pay American style) which refers to a treat attributed to North Americans or Canadians.
