Terms we will not admit to using

[gwenith]

You all have heard of them and of course we never actually use any of these terms but somehow they are there and everyone knows them.......

There the "unofficial" abbreviation list

like

FLK Funny Looking Kid

or

Craft syndrome - Can't Remember A Flippin' Thing

PFO - clean version - Potted (Drunk) and Fell Over

AHD - Acute Haloperidol Deficit

Or the pseudomedical jargon for describing patient peculiarities i.e.

Mononeuronis Asynapsis

Acute Pneumoencephalopathy (thanks TeeitupTom)

Acute Hyponicotaemia (busting for a cigarette)

Does anyone know anymore??

Okay can anyone add to this list

These are all great, I added the new ones to my ever growing list of unapproved abbreviations. I currently have 10 pages worth, of course there very well may be doubles, but still funny! If anyone would like a copy emailed to them feel free to IM me with your email addy and I'll be happy to send them to you. :)
