"Cock" and other jargon

[Trilby]

We used to say FLK (funny looking kid) when a kid was ugly but not necessarily medically deformed. The kidjust looked weird. The parents, inevitably, looked weird, too.

Medicine uses a lot of military jargon---Fubar, snafu, stfu...

Here's some more I found:

Some others....

ART = The patient died. Stands for "Assuming room temperature."

CC = Also used when the patient has died. Means "Cancel Christmas."

WUD = Woke-up dead.

GDA = "Gonna die anyway." Sometimes written as "F BUNDY" (@#$%ed, but unfortunately not dead yet.)

FDGB = "Fall down, go boom"

GOMER = It stands for "Get out of my emergency room", e.g. used in reference to junkies trying to scam drugs from the ER.

CCFCCP = Used when the patient is obviously not mentally cogent. It stands for "Coo-coo for coco puffs."

EMS = Of course this really stands for "Emergency medical services" but the joke is that it stands for "Earn money sleeping."

TMB = This is the cause of death indicated when the patient is very old. It stands for "Too many birthdays."

Heme = A slang term for blood, used when the patient or family is listening and it might upset them.

Occipital Implant = A gunshot wound in the head.

Terminal deceleration = Fatal car crash.

FLB = "Funny looking bumps", a way to describe an abnormal EKG.

MUH = Another nondescript way to indicate a coronary condition. Means "messed up heart."

WNL = It's supposed to stand for "Within normal limits", e.g. "BP WNL" is "blood pressure within normal limits", but the joke is that it really stands for "We never looked."

PAFO - "Pissed And Fell Over

Rule of Five - means that if more than five of the patient's orifices are obscured by tubing, they have no chance of survival.

UBI - "Unexplained Beer Injury.

These're great!

This applies to Texas city drivers:

SMALL - Slow Moving Asshole, Left Lane

Most of the main streets are 3 lanes wide and you generally make better time in the right lanes.

My favorite is "Great Googley Moogley", just because I like the way it sounds all strung together and I can say it anywhere without offending someone.
My favorite expletive, to be said with feeling, is: Fuck-a-diddle!

My Mother came to visit two years ago and HER favorite expletive at the time was: Crap-ass! ...sort of muttered under her breath. I've caught myself and my husband saying it, though we tend to use full voice and not mutter it. I was over at a friend's house a few months ago and I heard her teenage son yell "crap-ass!" at his truck while he was tinkering under the hood...
Great expletives just happen to travel well, I guess.

Here in the South, I haven't encountered ANY good expletives at work. Everyone just says a whimpy: "Oh, me!" What is up with that too-polite-to-say-shit-if-you-have-a-mouthful-of-it attitude?

The Deputies up in WA State would comment: Joke 'em. Which was shorthand for "Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck."
