Do you know SOB? My mother can be that, at times. At other times, she is a PITA.
She is in IL. at a N.H. She does not qualify for I.L. or A.L. She talks of moving to AZ., with me. I said "NWIH."

Why do some people have more than one identity?

I have discovered several and know their altered egos as well. Are these people just internet trolls? Or are they actually caregivers that have maybe been pushed over the edge? Or they find pleasure in being mean and rude to others that are experiencing challenges in their care giving roles.

Has anyone noticed that the posters screen name is ABBREVIATED???

Report

But LadeeM that's because we're not supposed to know what it stands for, it's like an anonymous.

And the PO. Sorry, no, the OP. Oh crumbs I'm so confused…

Anyway. That person is correct, in that life would be so much simpler in our bureaucratic world if the protocol were followed.

And, as you say, this is terrific fun. And has enlightened me about quite a few I'd been puzzling over but never quite worked out…

ladeeM - LOL!! I totally get your point , but I agree w/Countrymouse too....I think there's a lot of people who find the abbreviations a bit confusing at first.

gladimhere - re: the trolls...IKWOYS (I know what of you speak) and I share your concerns. Weird. Just very weird.

I know I had a 'knee jerk' reaction to the criticism.... there are a gazillion choices OP (Original Poster) had to share about this.... ummm let's see.... instead of us making it easier because OP didn't like it.... ummmm, how about OP asking what some of them mean....I have been on this site for many years..... and just as life evolves so does our site..... someone would be b*tching that it was antiquated...sooooooooo, we will just keep on having a ball with this, and I guess we should thank OP for providing so much fun for us.... nice to use our brains for something besides protocol.....what the h*ll does that even mean in Caregiver World?????? Ok, I'm tired and TADB.... taking a deep breath....if ya'll see me posting one with lots of "F"s in it .... don't ask !!!!!!

Hm, I think I just thought of one that I don't think has been mentioned yet, and...dare I say it....this might be to blame for some of the more cranky posts we see:

TTOM = That Time of Month

Granted, it only works for females, and many of us are (thankfully) past having to deal with it, either by nature's design or by man's (surgery)....but I think it definitely has its place here! :-)

Oo, I've just remembered one that made me really cross - I was on a paediatric unit with my teenage daughter, eavesdropping like you do, and the nurse said to the mother of the tot in the next bed to us :"he p.u.'d this morning, so that was fine!" The mother looked nonplussed, so the nurse tittered and said "oh I'm sorry! - I mean he did a wee."

Saying p.u.'d (for 'passed urine' in case anybody's wondering) doesn't even save any time, and it isn't obvious, so what the h*ll was the point? - apart from being either lazy communication or an opportunity to patronise the parent en passant? I thought that was a real shibboleth at work, there. It's different when you're typing on line; and anyway in a forum you can always ask, or just pick it up as you go along.

Mmmmm… Rolos…. LadeeM, we had an ad campaign here decades ago with the catchphrase "do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?"

Nope.

I never knew that GOAT was an accronym. I thought it was slang for being really annoying. Comment CM?
The medical world is riddled with them. some are even derived from the latin so there is no way of working them out.
Here are a few, not Latin.
HNPU has not passed urine
TPR temperature pulse and respiration.
BO bowells open
NPO nothing by mouth.
NV not vomited
MDA manual dilation of anus
PR per rectum

Nothing to do with medicine but I have one for Rolo
Roll over loved one
GOAT grouchy old angry toad.
No disprespect for OP but we can keep this going for ever.
