[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1123047, member: 9096"] I"m with George Carlin on this.. Keep making the disease name longer, so that you then have to use it's acronym and you lose sight of what it really is WW1... it was called Shell Shock... Simple, honest direct language.. it nearly sounds like the guns themselves WW2... it was called Battle Fatigue... Takes a little longer to say and doesn't seem to hurt as much Korea... it was called Operational exhaustion... up to 8 syllables now... and it sounds like something that might happen to your car! Vietnam.. it was called Post-traumatic stess disorder... and the pain is completely buried under jargon. "I bet if we had still been calling it Shell Shock some of the Vietnam veterans would have gotten the attention they needed" If you want to hear the whole works, I think it's on Youtube... the name of the skit is "Euphemisms" [/QUOTE]
