Exclamation Name Calling

A newly graduated nurse made a comment one day about the color of a urine specimen (it was greenish). Several veteran nurses overheard her and almost in unison said "urispas" which is an antispasmotic used quite frequently for elderly patients. The nurse abruptly took offense and said "well, you're a crankpot". She thought we were calling her a spaz!
