gross medical thing, whining about a word 

The use of the word "cath" as a verb for using/inserting catheters will never stop weirding and subtly grossing me out

gross medical thing, whining about a word 

@hummingrain I REALLY understand that. I have a whole list of words that do the same to me. Mostly non-medical contexts and not abbreviations, but same sense of "god, that just feels like a weird mental intrusion to even say that."

"Hubby" comes to mind. "Smoke" as a verb. "Boner." "Lotion." "Whip cream." Oh, god: "Meal." When we had a bedbug threat and my ex-housemate kept using the phrase "blood meal." *whimpercringe*

@hummingrain Also, almost all "weed" terminology... including "weed."

@zebratron2084 For me weed stuff just triggers my "get bored and fall asleep/wander off" reflex.

I'm REALLY done with the prevalence of weed as a primary hobby/personality trait thing for people in Seattle, especially those on dating sites
