Where You Sit in Class... And What it Says About You [COMIC]

Freaky Baby Costumes: Your Kid Will Hate You For Life [Pics]

Babies are precious, treasured angels that should be treated with the utmost care, love, and respect. Sometimes I see a child with a scull and crossbones t-shirt, crocs, or pink stiletto high heels and I wonder—what in the world were mom and pop smoking? Whether it’s for Halloween, your neighborhood street party, or Thanksgiving dinner, these parents have taken it too far.

Hamburger Baby
I like my baby medium rare with a side of onion rings and American cheese, please.

Lobster Baby
First you boil the cute crustacean, then season, garnish with fresh lemons, and serve.

Baby Mop
Make him work for his mashed up green peas. Take that Swiffer Wet Jet!

Whoopee Cushion Baby
What’s that smell? It’s not your bean burrito, it’s baby! (Great for practical jokes, but use with caution.)

Car Freshener Baby
Beware, he may be too heavy to hang from the rear-view mirror and the odors emitted may not be quite so lemony-fresh.

Wonder Bread Baby
Makes great French toast, peanut butter and jelly sammies, and comes pre-sliced.

Roast Turkey Baby
An interesting alternative to traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Who needs Jenny-O’s freezer turkeys when you can baste little Owen and garnish him with fresh garlic?

Wig-Wearing Baby
From Donald Trump to Bob Marley, start covering your wee one’s premature balding before he’s weaned from the teat.

Poop-Head Baby
Poop belongs in the toilet, not on your baby’s head.

8 Medical Terms Your Doctor Uses to Insult You

Who do you think are the most cynical people in the world? Cops? Executioners? Or maybe prostitutes? Clowns?

We're thinking it's doctors. If you want proof, check out some of the horrifying-yet-hilarious slang they use around the office. Yes, these are real.
#8.
PRATFO

What It Means: Patient Reassured And Told to Fuck Off.

When It's Used:
When a patient comes into the ER more hysterical than ill, the doctor reassures the patient and asks them to leave. However, this acronym has gotten at least one doctor into trouble when he scribbled it in a patient's chart and then later was asked to explain it in court.

We're not saying you should ever lie in court, but in that situation you should at least consider it.
#7.
AMYOYO Syndrome

What It Means: Alright, Motherfucker, You're On Your Own.

When It's Used:
If television is to be believed, any condition, no matter how egregious or how slim the chances of survival, can be surmounted with the intervention of a charismatic, slightly eccentric doctor or the introduction of a particularly salient plot point.

Well, television is not to be believed. If a patient split from crotch to neck, sustained a shotgun wound to the chest, or fell twenty stories onto the pavement, then a great deal's up to a God. Assuming he exists, or cares. Thus we get the AMYOYO Syndrome diagnosis, with the variations SOLOMFYOYO (So long, Motherfucker, You're On Your Own) and GPO (Good for Parts Only).
#6.
Faecal Encephalopathy

What It Means: Shit-for-Brains.

When It's Used:
If you wind up in the emergency room because, say, you were trying to launch bottle rockets out of your anus, you can expect to hear this term thrown around. Latin, or pseudo-latin, is often used to convey unflattering terms and make it sound grandiloquent to the uninformed (or faecal-encephalopathic) ear.

Variations include Cranio-Rectal Syndrome and Cranial Rectosis, presumably for when the patient doesn't have shit for brains but merely has his head up his ass.
#5.
Cut and Paste

What It Means:
Also called an "Open and Close" or a "Peek and Shriek," this is when a surgeon opens up a patient for surgery, discovers nothing can be done to avert the inevitable, and sews them back up immediately. Or, if they feel like it, practice surgical technique for a while.

When It's Used:
Generally, this is encoded as "C&P," "CNP" or something similar, so that the head of the department knows what happened but the to-be-aggrieved family doesn't. Typically this happens with very old people, those with suddenly aggravated chronic health problems, or people with inoperable cancer, soon resulting in a "healthy tumor" (a dead patient).
#4.
SBI

What It Means: Something Bad Inside.

When It's Used:
When the medical staff encounters a strange complaint that doesn't meet any known diagnostic criteria. As much as you don't want to hear SBI as your diagnosis, it's still better than the alternate SVBI (Something Very Bad Inside) which means whatever it is appears to be killing you.

Either may be followed up with a "SWAG" (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess).

#3.
CTF

What It Means:
Cletus the Fetus. Used to describe infants born at 23 weeks or earlier, where their survival rate is less than 1%. There are no confirmed cases of babies surviving at 22 weeks or earlier, which means that children born then are less likely to live than someone who just jumped off the Empire State Building.

When It's Used:
New parents have a tendency to not hear anything that doesn't fit the "Our child will survive because he is special, we are special, and we love him" paradigm. No. Little Cletus will make it no matter what those mean old overpaid white coats tell Mommy and Daddy. Because life works like Lifetime home movies.

It's at this point you should realize that when you're surrounded by the sick and dying every day, no subject is too dark for comedy.
#2.
Slow Code to China

What It Means:
Hospitals use a series of emergency codes (Code Blue, for instance, means the patient is dying and needs immediate resuscitation). Not listed among the official codes is the Slow Code, meaning the patient is dying, and not to worry too much about it.

When It's Used:
Sometimes, a very ill, very elderly, or very hopeless patient wants the doctors to do everything they can to keep them alive. And sometimes, doctors don't want to do that: it's too much work, the patient will die anyway, or the person just isn't worth preserving.
#1.
CBT

What It Means: Chronic Biscuit Toxicity. Patient is really fat.

When It's Used:
Doctors seem to be inventing more and more of these unflattering terms as obesity becomes more chronic in the western world. You may also hear Polydipose Dysfunction, BW (beached whale) and others, all of which are sure to see plenty of usage until some enlightened future when a doctor can just say the phrase "lard ass" to a patient's face.

Here are some other, rather self-explanatory terms you probably don't want to hear in the halls outside your hospital room:
Cunts and Runts

The gynecology/obstetrics department.
BFH

Big Fucking Head. As in, the patient has one.
Brothel Sprouts

Genital warts.
COPS

Chronic Old Person's Disease.
Donorcycle

Motorcycle. As in, a frequent source of organ donors.
CTD

Circling The Drain. Just picture the world of the living as a bath tub.
