Topic: The common cold... | |
---|---|
...there's nothing common about catching a cold!
Who created that myth, that it's common? And when did it become fashionable to call it the flu? And to be elitist call it swine flu? I'm catching a cold...I have the hit by a mack truck feeling, the achey breaky bones, the sore chest, and the sneezes... I must have a kind of mild fever, as I am one minute piled under a gazillion blankets shivering, and the next minute sweating my arse off. and it isn't common! I refuse to give myself an elitist title and call it swine flu...who wants to be a pig? When did we get so insane we had to have all these crazy different mindsets and names for some virus that kicks your arse for a few days...has you feel like sh*te for a little while, and then forget you ever had it? I have an Uncommon Cold... |

The only thing I can think of is this.....it sounds better when you have to call off work. It does...but it sounds more studious if you call it "flu-like symptoms". Much more professional, like you've actually done some research. Hope yer feeling better soon!!! |

Hahahaha...how crazy is that?
I am indignant about what to call some 5 day virus... Is it common to be cranky when catching a cold? |

the politically correct term is "H1N1" and not "swine flu" if it makes you feel better

The media has been playing up the number of confirmed swine flu 'Victims', in the region, in my town the local GP has confirmed 1...
and yet every person that I have seen today as I've dragged my sorry arse around town, has said, 'Oh you have swine flu! You need to see the doctor!' what is that? Do they WANT me to have swine flu? |

it is better than you have flu, swine!
