If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No, but I don't think "you need to go to the hospital sir" would be out of line. Though I'll accept that it was probably marginal in this case.

And because I don't have enough going on

Ha ha, we're the stress twins. My dad is doing the "chest pain or acid reflux?" dance and my sister is trying to avoid going on diabetes medication. I hope your dad makes it to the doctor today.

I need to go browse vacation deals or something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am, as ever, reminded of the time I had to tell coworkers that they couldn't use the phrase "my box" in the title of a curriculum for teen girls.

Or the time my big boss at the looniversity presented her proposal for a program to be called the Faculty Advisory Program.

In NS, were working though license plates in the form AAA-000. They recently got to the F's. While they didn't issue any with the letter sequence FAG, they were not savvy enough to also hold back on FAP.

Observe my ignorance--what is FAP? Other than a sound effect?

Fap = commonly-used onomatopoeic representation of the sound of male masturbation. For ex: the big leak of stolen nude pics of celebrities was called "The Fappening"

(At least I managed to say with a straight face that the name might be an issue because internet slang without reflecting on the truly fappy nature of another advisory committee when we already had several.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Brenda, I hope it's bruising and resolves.

A previous bit in the thread reminds me of a nearby elementary named "Bugg." A friend with kids there had to convince a well meaning (I assume) teacher to not tell her students "Have a Buggerific summer!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ahaha!
