My new favorite keyword is eddy.

For erectile dysfunction. I got tired of typing the whole thing, and I've been amazed about how often I have been typing it - I work with a family practice clinic type for the most part.

So why eddy? Cause that's what Columbine yells as Meatloaf comes back from the dead in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. EDDY!!!! Now, that is something I can never forget.

I don't have a system for the other sex words... like condom and some of the other phrases. Do have:
bcp = birth control pills
bcl = birth control

What? Meatloaf again?

**waving to another Rocky Horror fan**

Have you seen the sequel, Shock Treatment? Richard O'Brien is a genius.

You guys are great! I do urology and the words are UNBELIEVABLE. If anyone has any good shortcuts, I would be most appreciative.

I like it, LOL. You know, I have always taken exception to the habit male nerds have of referring to a crashed system as having gone.....ummmm, how do I phrase this to get past the censoring software..... t*** (mammaries) down. I always gently point out that it is obvious that the correct terminology is d*** (penis) down, as that is not only a nicely alliterative reference to the same anatomical position, but accurately describes a truly nonfunctional system.

Gee, when I worked with engineers, they'd say the system went titts up, not down. As in lying on its back. On the other hand, when they screw things up, it's all cocked up (and I bet that gets filtered too!- chickened up)

Oh and since I have trouble with breasts, I just type titts (spelled proper) and it changes it.
titc = breast cancer
tite = breast exam
titex = breast examination

I like how I have poop = preoperative and poopy = preoperatively too.

Now you know how purile my sense of humor is...

OMG, ROTF! What a great thread, ha! Nice imaginations here!

Hmmm, yes, I picture everyone who types GI, urology, and gynecology accounts sitting there this morning furiously revising their shorts according to some truly interesting new systems.

This is off the "EDDY" subjects, but by word association and meaning, I have added "moo" for morbid obesity. Hope I don't offend anyone.

Well, for me erdy=erectile dysfunction and moob=morbid obesity. Perhaps this is all because I never saw the Rocky Horror thingy. Poop and poopy gotta remember that one. Actually, never thought about using

titc = breast cancer
tite = breast exam
titex = breast examination



Marti

I use poop and poopy but for postoperative and postoperatively,

Have been doing radiology lately so the tits have been expanded:
titt - breast tissue
tittp - breast tissue pattern
titp - breast parenchyma
pary - parenchyma

Okay, I confess. I use poop for post-operative too... and preop for preoperative. But Preopy isn't as funny.

And I had to change tits to titz, because I do say tits up instead sometimes.

Moob is morbid obesity and mooby is morbidly obese.

New member here replying to a VERY old thread, but I couldn't resist...

I almost learned the hard way to add the word "condo" to Smartype. Otherwise it's all too easy to get, "The patient lives in a condom."

Hahaha! I needed that one, glad you didn't resist!

Hello, Ptarmigans! Big welcome to you.
