Interestingly dysania is derived from the words dys meaning hard/difficult and ania which means boredom. Dysania is Greek for Hard Boredom.

I thought the foam on a beer was called "head" ???

7 years ago | Likes 122 Dislikes 1

Perhaps the head is the name for the foam as an object, but it is composed of barm

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It is. Barm is a different type of foam that appears during fermentation. That picture is misleading.

No, that happens after beer.

Head is a more of a slang descriptor, whereas barm is the makeup. Barm is used for other things, head is just what's on a beer
