Oh yeah, I've definitely had to explain to people (educated adults!) what the actual flu is, what the flu shot does, etc. This year!
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Until I worked at an office that gave flu shots, I thought 'stomach flu' was the only flu. Or possibly didn't know that influenza was also called 'flu'.
There is something wrong with this sentence (on a poster for a summer social at work). Like- what is a "food line"? And why is there a random comma.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IME, people use "flu" to refer to any illness that isn't obviously something else.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In lieu of Buffista Island, perhaps this would work:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I always figured the unmodified flu to be influenza, and the stomach fly was gastroenteritis. No relationship other than the name.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For $17.5M, it better be a hollowed-out volcano.

Because books.
I always thought stomach flu was one of the viruses ("bugs") that goes around.

That base is super cool, but almost too big.
I think we need to all buy lottery tickets this weekend.

I really like this dress, but would want it in cotton. [link] and would not pay over $100 for it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's awesome, Kathy!
