Thank you Randi, there were many interesting definitions yesterday. I think they were all pretty much the same, but they were all helpful, and interesting. Thanks to you all who answered my question.

This one was in the WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY, 1980 edition, but I had
to look it up to answer the question. Saint Vitus' Dance is defined as
chorea and chorea is defined as a disorder of the nervous system
characterized by irregular, jerking movements caused by involuntary
muscular contractions.
