A fellow classmate would like to know if there is another word you can use for something being "pus-filled" because someone in her clinical group used the improper word "pus-sy". Any suggestions? Thanks!

Btw - this induced LOLz allllll around in class today.

Use the word purulent. It means "containing pus".

Thank you. That's what I said, too, but there was some disagreement. Only my instructor sided with me.
