So, the nephrologist does not think she's improving, though he's less convinced she's had a stroke. Her temp is going back up, so they're doing another round of cultures.
Guess work in white coats.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hubby and I use multi-lingual puns. If he asks for something, I'll hand it to him and he'll say "Burro knees." Which comes from "Danke schoen" to "Donkey shins" to "Burro knees."
Otherwise we pull things in form random shows we've seen over the last twenty years like "so we went to Germany", which is what happened on "QED", a Mythbusters pre-cursor from England, where the insurance company wouldn't let them do something dangerous, so they went to Germany instead. We use the phrase for "Well, we couldn't get it done here for various reasons, so we just went somewhere else so we could get away with it."
There's probably dozens of others I don't even think of now.

Damn it, Sean. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. {{{{Sean and S.}}}}

“Not dead yet!”
We've become That Couple, circa 2008: our own language cobbled out of Joss Whedon, comics, and lolcats.
This is me and Tom, only replace "comics" with "Friends quotes."
Or me and Lewis with Bull Durham, When Harry Met Sally, and Princess Bride
Our wedding even had a Princess Bride moment when the officiant completely by accident said, "I give you this wing."
Given that Lewis and I were introduced on a blind date at wings joint, coupled with the PB reference, the entire wedding party was howling.

Me: ...garlic press.
That is the best. I love you guys.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've got that with my sister, regarding particularly egregious quotes from old romance novels, and with my family, concerning an incident at a local diner after they saw "Pale Rider" but I chose to see "Red Sonja."
I can't BELIEVE Rodriguez is remaking Red Sonja. I will be there at the theatre, clutching my ticket price in nickels and dimes, breathless with antici...pation. It will be SO awful! I can't wait!
My dad and I can also complete each other's half quotes from Conan the Destroyer and Barbarian.
And for some reason, if I greet my girlfriends with "Dirrrty HOOOOR!" in a bad Scottish accent, they gently correct me: "Dirrrrrty FOCKING hoooorrr, Erin."

She has five or six specialists looking after her. I think they all look at different things, according to their own specialty. Sometimes it's hard to parse all the things the various doctors are saying, even though I have a pretty good command of medicalese at this point. I'm going to stick with the signs of improvement we've been seeing, for now.

Sean, I'm so sorry for you and S. Continued thoughts and ~ma to you both.

My dad hated playing Pictionary against my mom and me. Seriously, one of us could just draw a line and the other would guess it right away. He'd grab the "drawing" and be like WTF? It's a single LINE!! Ha!
