I went in to see the doctor a while back and he said that I had, well, I didn’t know the word he used. It was too long and Latin based. I asked him what that meant, and he said, a cold (I think it was).
“If it is just a cold,” I asked, “then why not call it a cold?”
“Because we can’t charge you a lot of money to diagnose a cold,” he responded.
“No, really, why use a long complicated term when a short one would do?”
