like "the pox"?
Yes! I am slow this morning. Still getting the coffee in me (plumber of course came at exactly 8AM, though since it only took him about 15 minutes, it makes sense)
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

The Clap is always syphilis!
Anybody see Play For Germs?

So what are the others? The clap, the pox...I feel like there were more.
(ETA: Wikipedia only lists "the clap" (which is indeed gonorrhea) and "trich", in addition to "crabs" as colloquialisms)
