A Sunday quiz - do you know what "phlegmatic" means? [View all]

I consider myself well read, I read a lot. So I like it when I stumble upon new words which doesn't happen that often. I was curious how many of you would know what the word "phlegmatic" means without consulting a dictionary. Please be honest in the poll answer.
