    I have a presentation tomorrow. A guy on the team continues to say "quadtriple". Even after we corrected him.

    In my business, I hear the term “lymph noids” fairly often.

    A buddy on Cardiac had an incident with "Home O2?", he's gay, cracked us up as newbies, when he thought she was referring to him when another nurse asked in report.

    O2 "stats" is another.

    "Canadians" .... a friend used that term to describe topless women on the beach

    I complimented a coworker once  that he looked and was dressed particularly sharp that morning.... He advised he was on his way to a promotional interview.  His exact quote was   " u gotta look impotent to be impotent"
    he didn't get the promotion.

    Nothing wrong about the usage of that word.  Back in the day, guys from metro Detroit would make our way to Windsor, Ontario for a bit of culture.  The Canadian Ballet.  For those that don't know, there's an abundance of stripper bars in the GWN.

    That’s why it is great going from the states.  We’d drive to Montreal at least once a month when I was in college.  Drinking age was only 18, and with the exchange rate, it was always half-price beers and the girls would flock to the guys tipping with US dollars.

    My mother-in-law likes to say someone is "all in a twat" when they're angry.  =)

    I'll never correct her.

    Ahhh yes, the 'double negative' gets them every time. They did not pay attention in 4th grade, but I did.

    From sports announcer Joe Buck and many others:

    Quarterback throws long ball toward the end zone. The receiver looks like he is outrunning the defensive backs and should catch the long pass for a TD.

    "He's going for the home run!!"

    Huh?

    Butt naked....buck naked.....naked is naked!
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    @RajunCajun there's a big difference between naked ( a lack of clothing) and nekkid (a lack of clothing and you're up to something).  E.g., she was naked for her massage. They were nekkid after the party and heading for the hot tub.

    @theyolksonyou she is so totally serious when she says these things which makes it even funnier.  @fred19flintstone licking his own @ss is a combo of licking his wounds and beating his own @ss.  Meaning, he's wounded and feeling guilty for his actions.  Sh!t or get off the fan is sofa king funny I'm thinking of making tee shirts.  The visual is quite... umm... needs no other description.
