Ever searched in a patients' room for what you thought she said she needed to "watch her pocketbook" , she staring at you and you staring at her. Then finally saying, mam what color is your pocketbook because I don't see a pocket book here. Only to have her say, no get my washtub out of the drawer, my washcloth and soap. I always like to wash my pocketbook before I go anywhere. Especially down for tests. And close that curtain, too. Then you say, Oh. ;)

my favorite...a bip bip (for lady parts)...hmmm

Have you ever heard a lady parts called Molly or Suzanne? Someone told me these were common terms, the later referring to an experienced one, the former to a virginal one.

Life is rich, huh?

English is my second language and some of these are particularly funny to me.....heard this one the other day and it will contribute to my ever expanding vocabulary pool: "Heat detector" for member :chuckle

thermometers.... for nipples. One of my patients was really upset with the thin hospital gown..."I'm cold and everyone can see my thermometers!":lol2:

Around my house we have referred to the lady parts as "too-too boo-boo," and "cookies." I have referred to erect nipples as "headlights, or high beams," :rotfl: when talking with my friends. I have heard the member called "woody.":roll

Silly I know but hey, like someone said earlier, in common conversation saying the medical term seems somewhat awkward and draws more attention than the nicknames.

I had one resident that would say his "boys" needed adjusted. It took me awhile to figure out that he was sitting on "his boys", and that couldn't be very comfortable! Another residen't kept yelling "my noodle's over my nubbin'" after I changed his catheter. He was uncircumcised, and I had failed to put the foreskin back. The poor man was in some discomfort while I tried to figure out what the problem was! I never made that mistake again!
