Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

Published

Everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste? Well, of course not everyone, but a whole lot of folks on here do.

Shouldn't the word be co-signed? Or have I been wrong all these years? To me, consign is what you do with your used clothes in a consignment shop. :cheeky:

It tastes sweet, like coffee creamer.

Was it your own that you tried? :what: I like coffee creamer, but I'd rather just drink coffee creamer over breast milk. Especially since they have a thin mint coffee creamer. It just seems too weird for me.

Yes. I was pumping and was curious. Only time I tried it.

And thin mint! Yes pls

I'd try it, too. Clearly it's safe, and you don't get many opportunities.

Though, it changes over time, right? The question is, does the taste change as the proportions of constituent nutritional elements change?

Yes! I read this in my Maternal Health textbook. It can change d/t diet, meds, infection, and exercise.

It also changes over the course of lactation, to meet different nutritional needs at different stages of growth. Which is pretty damn cool.

I saw a sign on a bathroom door at a public facility that made me think of this thread. It was hand written and posted on both women and men's rooms.

" Floor Wet. Be Caution."

Is that like being a cautionary tale?? Because I've been told that I serve as one on numerous occasions....and I like it!

OMG I just realized what that could actually accidently imply..... :cheeky:

I mean, that's probably possible too, but comes along with a very long stay with interesting individuals and handsome (or not) prison guards....:roflmao:

....oh, you know, I consigned the other half of that 800mg Ibuprofen.. :cheeky:

(yes, I know we don't waste ibuprofen, just an analogy :-p)

Best guess is autocorrect. That, or they literally pronounce it that way (incorrectly), like some people say "supposably".

I've noticed down here in the south people will write "sell" when they mean "sale". I figured out it's because it is pronounced the same way.

Omg, I'm from the south and I just realized that my A's are not very long, and somehow I manage to make two syllables out sale.

What about putting an "s" on the end of words for instance "I'm going to Targets and Wal-Marts".

Haha! I don't put an "s" on the end of words, but I hear it every day!

Or saying "literally" when they don't actually mean literally. Like "I literally had like 10 slices of pie." When the reality is, you didn't.

Also, "I took the NCLEX and had tons of SATA - about 4o some, to be exact." :confused:
