Etymology

Ancient Greeks believed that four liquids (called humours), flowed through our bodies. Each one of these fluids was associated with a different personality characteristic, so their relative proportions were thought to determine a person’s temperament and overall health.

According to the humoral theory of the ancient Greeks, a person was considered “ideal” if the mixture of the four fluids in his body was balanced. Imbalance of the four liquids would result in the person being bad tempered, aggressive, sad, depressed, sluggish and cold

In the end, the word humor ended up being used as a general term for disposition or temperament and eventually it has come to mean funny.

Modern Greeks ☺ that’s us, believe that we can bring you a number of different humors to your life to balance every aspect of your everyday… Have some humor ☺
