"the itis"
More commonly known now as a "food coma," this phrase directly alludes to the stereotype of laziness associated with African Americans. According to Mic, it stems from a longer (and incredibly offensive) version that includes a racial slur.
Modern vernacular dropped the racial slur, leaving a faux-scientific diagnosis for the tired feeling you get after eating way too much food.
I recommend using the technical term instead: postprandial somnolence. Or maybe just say you're stuffed.
