This is what happens when you don't feed the nurses

Had a really rough night on Labor day. No break for 10 hours. My co-worker and I decide to go out to Perkins for breakfast. Well, they are running behind, really far behind. (We waited over 1hr and 15 min for food, but nothing else near was open.) So we bonded with the people at other tables, pulling out raisins, cereal bars and fiber one bars passing them down the tables to hold people over:rolleyes:

So anyway, about 3 am we started getting slap happy. She tells me about her daughter's Swedish college roomate asking her if she has ever heard of a "touchdown." Well, yeah, right? Ummm, I guess it means something A LOT different in Sweden. Apparently, a touchdown is when your having a BM and it touches the water before it "plops." So, we figure we should come up with our own terms. Tell me what you think, and please feel free to add your own.

Sinchronized swim - Diarrhea

Interception - Dis-impaction

Home Run - A successful Dis-impaction

1st base- passing gas

Penalty Box - C dif

Replacing the divits - when our little old people poo on the floor, then track it all over the room.

OMG, I laughed so hard, thought I was gonna bust a gut. My dear hubby, however, looked at me like this:confused:

Specializes in Ortho and Med/Surg.

My husband also looks at me like I'm crazy when I'm talking to my nurse friends on the phone about bodily fluids. He says "Don't we tell the kids NOT to talk about those things?"

These are too funny :D
