phlegmatic (adjective) fleg-MAT-ik



Unemotional, difficult to arouse.

As Deputy Government Whip in this place- a position I am sure Jim won because of his popularity with the caucus - there were times when Jim’s patience must have been sorely tried, but we would never have known that from his phlegmatic demeanour.

Mr Richardson, NSW Hansard, 30 April 2003. NSW Hansard

As the phlegmatic Fred Thompson plummeted in the polls and made a lackluster appearance at the forum, a juiced Mr. Giuliani preened in front of an audience that loved him.

Maureen Dowd, The New York Times, 17 October 2007. New York Times

The critics said: 'The English, normally phlegmatic about art, greeted the event with ecstasies of Tutankhamunophilia.' (Time Magazine)

in an article by Ally Carnwath, The Observer, 4 November 2007. The Observer
