-
A dull gloomy state of the mind: sadness: melancholy: sorrow: heaviness of heart. In this sense generally used in the plural, and now only when, a ludicrous sense is intended. "Why, how, now, daughter Katherine? In your dumps"-Shak. "A ludicrous, coarse, or vulgar use of a word brings it into disuse in elegant discourse. In the great ballad of Chevy-Chase a noble warrior, whose legs are hewn off, is described as being in doleful dumps. Holland's translation of Livy represents the Romans as being 'in the dumps' after the battle of Camnae. It was in elegant use then."-Trench.
