It sounds silly, but you're missing the point. The point isn't to find a super special silly nickname for one's fatigue/illness, it's to explain to other people who DON'T understand illness in very simple, concrete terms. I assure you, there are quite a few people who don't understand that a person with, say, MS can't just rest up one day and then go clubbing till 4am, then sleep in the next day and be all better. There are people who don't understand how a sick person has to budget their energy for things like work, doctor's appointments, special occasions, etc. rather than doing whatever they want, whenever they want like healthy people do.

The spoon theory is just like a budget, for energy. Sometimes people with a really big budget don't grasp that people with a small budget has to calculate carefully and only spend what they can afford.
