antithalian (adj)
Opposed to fun.
"Mr. Toobad described her as being fully impressed with the truth of his Ahrimanic philosophy, and being altogether as gloomy and antithalian a young lady as Mr. Glowry himself could desire for the future mistress of Nightmare Abbey."
--Thomas Love Peacock, Nightmare Abbey
Hmm. "Ahrimanic" refers to Ahriman, which in Zoroastrianism is apparently the name for a devil or Satan. Speaking of Satan...(yes, I have a mind that wanders)...the Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre here in the JC is showing Rosemary's Baby on Saturday night. A fave. I'm there!
