They were new to me too.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas, Marijke.

I saw the same post and wrote one (that I'm going to post later in the week) cribbing from the same list. Some of the terms really are amusing but some could be pretty offensive if seen by a patient!

Crabby, we're going to have to start getting together on these.
