Shadowrun Returns (ссылка на мой отзыв в стиме), диалоги которого написаны богатым языком - по следам соотв. серии книг - встретилось интересное слово:
maudlin [ˈmôdlin] (Oxford American Dictionary)
adj. self-pityingly or tearfully sentimental, often through drunkenness
the drink made her maudlin
a maudlin ballad
Origin: late Middle English (as a noun denoting Mary Magdalen): from Old French Madeleine, from ecclesiastical Latin Magdalena (see magdalene). The sense of the adjective derives from allusion to pictures of Mary Magdalen weeping.
