We had to stop calling our computers on wheels "COWS" because some visitor got offended and complained because she heard "Get that COW out of the hallway" LMAO....now they're WOWs, workstations on wheels...how upscale
Same here with ours, except we like our COWs, so they all have nametags that say things like "Buttercup" and "Bessie" on them.
At the nursing home where I work, we call a fall a "change of surface".
We've been known to call this "floor-seeking behaviour"
Things that make you go Hmmm
